A similar crash occurred at the same rail crossing in September, when a truck driver narrowly missed ramming an Amtrak train. The truck driver in that incident told The Chronicle on Sunday that he was blinded by the early-morning sun and didn’t see the train approaching.
He noted that the highway and tracks are not perpendicular but instead meet at an unusual, 45-degree angle.
