Train smashes into tractor-trailer flipping it | FOX 5 News

In Austell, a train crashed into a semi-trailer as it was turning, but got stuck in traffic. You can see the railroad crossing arms come down right before the Norfolk Southern freight train hits and flips the truck. Amazingly, no one was injured.

This was day one of the camera’s operation, too. Virtual Railfan had literally just put up a railfan camera at Austell.

No, he didn’t get stuck by traffic, no he didn’t not have enough time to move, he was confused by the second crossing in front of him, and he had plenty of time to move

[smedleyfarnsworth]

The truck driver had plenty of room in front of him to move into.

This is insanity. Those clown cars didn't move, sure, but he could have moved up some himself.

So basically anyone at any age and IQ can be a truck driver

The headline is wrong. Should be "Truck Driver Crosses Railroad Tracks Despite Red Lights, Causes Crash." Trains can't stop for idiots. It's called physics.

BAD JUDGEMENT ON HIS PART!! There is NO WAY he could have completely made the crossing before the train got there!! That was a big He better inform his BOSS that he WON"T be bringing the truck back!!😲😲😲😲

He better inform dispatch he will be a little late

[jeralnlawrence]

Plenty of time to move if he didn't try to make a left turn. He had to wait for a car to move back to make a left when all he had to do was drive straight.
