The fuck was wrong with the truck? Had plenty of time to move off the track.
Dude had 0 urgency to get out of the way
That train didn’t stop for anything Schertz just unlocked the real life action movie achievement.
Was the truck just stopped at a light or was it disabled?
Aftermath pics…

That poor Corvette!
That looks expensive
I assume he was high centered. That’s a pretty steep hill the tracks are on.
Driver just walking around the cab in his invincibility suit.
It’s amazing how often this happens. Thankfully
It’s amazing how that much mass was folded by the train—trailer, cars, semi.
Ooof. Horrible. Luckily no one was injured but if you look closely that truck driver was just inches away from death, the head of the truck could have sweeped and crushed him if he was just maybe a second slower. Phew.
Great reminder of the AWESOME & TERRIFYING POWER of trains!
Will buff out
When keep it rail goes wrong!
Curious if it would be wise to put a sign “stuck on the railroad – call this number” so you can actually call an agency to notify the person who operates the train to actually stop.
Train driver has no chill
Truck bottomed out, you can see the end of the trailer floating several feet off the ground
To all who are worried about the driver just casually walking away from the tracks: Physics tells us to walk at a 45 degree angle from the tracks. He may remembered his drivers ed course curriculum. 😂
Bro casually getting out of his cab like he’s got to stretch his legs or something
Well that guy is gonna get fired.
Bitch, I am a train.
This happens almost every single year. The tracks are up on a steep little hill with sharp inclines on each side so low long bed trucks get stuck there.
Happens way too much

This subject line reads like the combination of a math problem and the introduction to an episode of *Dragnet*.
How does this happen so frequently? I thought the US had tiny rail coverage compared to Europe and this never ever happens here. Genuine question
