Baring some explanation that the truck was somehow snagged on the tracks, which is very doubtful, this truck should not have stopped on the tracks.
If it couldn’t fit on the other side, it should have stopped before crossing the tracks.

In many parts of Texas, you can see a train coming from a great distance. I’m not sure about this exact crossing, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you could.
Someone said they couldn’t hear the train because of the police sirens.
Oh boy. If that is accurate, I guess lawsuits would follow?
