Commentary
I wish we knew more about what happened here. Semi-truck drivers have very specific rules they have to follow whenever they’re crossing train tracks. If a driver could clearly see a train headed its way, I wonder why he would end up on the tracks. Hopefully the police investigation into the accident is able to reveal a little more about what happened.
