This isn’t your typical crossing accident, the truck “slammed in to” the train as it was already on the crossing.
“...the truck “slammed in to” the train...”
Yes, hubby said it went into the 4th car. It seems to me like you’d have time to turn aside at least even if you couldn’t stop.
Either it was deliberate or the guy was incapacitated.
I have seen an accident where the vehicle slammed into a train. The train in this case was a light rail in Minneapolis. At this particular crossing (26th Street), the trains are going about 50 mph. The driver of the vehicle (in his late 60’s early 70’s) blew right through the crossing gate and slammed into the side of the train. The car bounced off the side, bentthe front axle. I had asked the driver if he was OK, and I get the “mind your own business”. No, not a Somali, just another lilly white Minnestoopidan liberal. Dude drives off. He was lucky, if it was a split second sooner the train would have plowed right into the car and killed him and his wife.
