I don't feel bad for this idiot truck driver. This is what happens or can happen when idiots try to beat a train. This truck driver is extremely lucky that non of the passengers or crew have died or was seriously injured. he is probably most likely at a trauma center for his injuries and most likely the guilt he has for creating this big disaster. I feel extremely bad for the crew and passengers onboard hope they all recouver well and I hope the engineer is okay.
Any truck is supposed to stop at a railroad track no matter what it's the law you look both ways and then you can go it was a truck's fault
If you want to kill alot of people with a 🚛 just look how this Truck driver decided to do.
🙏🙏🙏
