I’m not sure if there’s traffic the other way, but at that intersection, the light is always green going the other way when there’s a train. Maybe they couldn’t back up?
There is no way to tell from this video how long the truck was stuck on the tracks, but there is an emergency telephone number posted on the gates of RR crossings. In a situation such as this, get all people safely clear immediately, then call that number. The RR employee who answers your call will notify the dispatcher. All trains in the vicinity will receive a radio call to begin slowing down, or to stop if they are close to the compromised crossing. (Perhaps someone did call, and the train was simply to close to be notified in time.)
I heard one time that a fully loaded freight train packs as much kinetic energy as an A-bomb. Which didn't sound right to me. So I did the math (it was one of those days). Turns out, it's sorta true. At maximum load and 70 mph, I calculated a freight train packed around 120,000,000 megajoules of energy, comfortably enough to match the Davy Crockett micro nuke, the smallest nuke ever test fired- and maybe the smallest ever made- at around 20 kilotons TNT equivalent. The moral of this story is, don't screw around with freight trains.
"How's he not just going".....because his tires are stuck obviously......but it's still the driver's fault.....one of the first courses in truck driving school is teaching you about railroad crossings and how the truck can get stuck depending on your weight....he's definitely getting fired after this....smh
So it’s the drivers fault because he’s following a GPS that’s giving him directions???? Because no matter what he obviously had to get to the other side of those tracks. This video don’t show how he got stuck so you shouldn’t be pointing fingers
@@Lord_Hiram No.....what I'm saying is that if there was a red traffic light where the tracks were then he was supposed to stop BEFORE the tracks....then once the light turns green then he's supposed to accelerate in a low gear over the tracks until you clear them without shifting.....shifting over railroad tracks stalls the truck as well and can get you stuck....now did that make sense to you??....or are you still going to ask me sarcastic type questions as if I haven't been driving trucks for 15 years this month and don't know what I'm talking about??

@@BigJay773 I could care less how long you been driving your 1 in a million drivers on the road. I commented to what you said simple now did this explanation sound better ??? yes it did I’m glad I taught something today ✌🏼
It's hard to tell why's it's stuck short of the car being in the way. The back axle has cleared the yellow post; doesn't look like the under-trailer skirts are dragging on the ground; the tractor doesn't appesr stuck as you can see it move; the crossing gate getting caught shouldn't matter as it'll break away easily. So who knows. I will say the driver of the car should habe definately moved out of the way. We see two bad drivers in this video, not just one.
Look like that the driver is OK, thanks goodness. How long was the crossing closed for after accident & did they replaced the crossing gates? I think that it might be the same train that goes to Perrysburg (Fort Meigs) & Bowling Green (by windmills)
Hey, I live in this town! It wasn’t closed long, maybe about a week. They put up the same tall lights and new gates. Pretty good chance it goes to BG, we live south of there and I go to college there
Hard to tell if it was stuck initially since it eventually started moving. The driver wasn't gonna be able to make that turn because the white suv. I would've just kept going and blowing my horn and either the white suv would move or i would've moved it by running into it. Better option than getting hit by a train.
@@Kolja1987 It couldn't go forward anymore with the suv there unless the suv moved because of the way a semi truck turns. That's why I said I would've forced the suv out of the way. Bad move on the truck driver's part if the suv was already there when he started turning, I would've waited. If he was already in the process of turning when the suv decided to pull in front of him then that is a terrible situation to end up in.
@@ragediesel3250 There is 15 m distance between the truck and that SUV. Additionally, there is a wide parking lot or a gas station to the truck's left where it actually ended up at the end. The truck had tons of space to move to in any direction the driver wanted to. Why would it go through the SUV unless the steering was stuck (which obviously it was not)?
The semi was stuck anyway. It’s hard to see in the video but I’m from this town and there’s an actual explanation on why the semi couldn’t move. It’s unrelated to the white car
What is the problem with the car? If I would be the truck driver, I would move the car away with the truck if the car doesn't make place. (But, of course, if I would be the truck driver, I would check if I can cross the crossing savely and in one run before I move into the railway area.)
Honestly, just go lol. Its likely alot cheaper all the way around to explain how you got hung up on the tracks, but tore off a crossing gate, than to destroy likely a 100,000+ dollar load of freight, the ENTIRE fking crossing pole and keep the train from going, which causes havoc for the rail road and thier timing. Also, im sure it lands the truck driver out of a job. Also, also, ive heard you can pretty easily lift those crossing arms up and that they snap off fairly easily to let stuck vehicles GTFO.
i see it all the time, just sitting there in harms way. go forward ur safe, go backward ur safe.......are u just freezing?? that's not a great trait for a truck driver. just another idiot in the world totally screwing up the simplest of tasks.
Panic is definitely part of it, but there are also a couple other big reasons: part of the trailer can get hung up on the tracks (not enough clearance below). It could also be a manual transmission, and he tried shifting gears while going over the tracks and it stalled out, which is exactly why it's illegal to shift gears in big rigs while going over tracks. In this video it looks like he might not have had enough space to clear his trailer without damaging it and also the tractor might have hit something too. And with that trailer jack knived he can't see anything behind him to safely reverse.
@@--AE-- As long as he stays on the rails, his trailer will surely totally damaged. Moving away even with something damaged is nearly always the better choise.
Driver didn't get out. Glad cabin didn't flip when trailer was hit.
The most terrible aspect of this crash was not filming it in landscape mode.
When will people learn?
No, the most terrible aspect of the crash was the destruction of the crossing signal with the cantilever. RIP crossing signal.
Truck: Damn, I am so tired, I can't move.
Train: I got ya
Truck: Whew, I feel loads lighter, thanks mate.
Booooooooooo
You’re Heavy enemies got destroyed to lol
😂
@@Runawayrack maybe a window and headlight shattered, maybe a bent frame too but overall not completely split apart like the truck
I kept yelling at my phone "Get out of the cab! Get out of the cab!" I'm so glad the driver survived and doesn't appear to be hurt!
The report said afterward that he panicked in the moment. So scary but he’s safe!
That was close he is safe
That white car is strange, just sits there watching, waiting to cross the tracks.
Knowing people now days they were probably trying to get likes for their social media

How is that white car weird
At least the truck driver didn’t get hit by a train.

SWIFT DRIVERS AT THEIR BEST
Truck drivers: Break crossing gate or getting smashed by train???... I'll take the destruction from a train, thank you very much!
That Train just hit that tractor trailer and knocked down that railroad crossing😳😳😳
0:41 Bye bye cantilever.

Was it stuck? I'd just plow through the barriers... It'd be easier to explain than this!
Yep, and now his license is going to be suspended for a few months or so.
He could have reverse too. But the people in that white car are idiots to not be able to tell that they needed to move and just watch that happen.
His trailer likely bottomed out on the railroad crossing
Yep he got stuck, really hard to see but if you look to the back end of the trailer you can sort of tell
Weird… BESCAUSE that train’s headlight broken. and his hand rails are beaded😑😑😑😳😳😳
That truck was a flightliner and thank God it didn't get traged by the csx train
At 0:41 the train hit the truck and that truck almost flipped over but the truck driver was still in there he is ok and r.i.p railroad crossing): (:
Had to be an 18-Wheeler...
Hmm… I think 4 people recorded in Columbus Grove OH?
wow nice catch
Well thats cool, my hometown was featured on a yt account with over 1 million subs
Like why did the driver just park the truck there. Did it run out of fuel..
No, it was moving!
Trailer damage 100%
(if you know you know)
The real question is, what the hell is that white suv doing? There's a train coming that about to ram into the truck, like get the hell out of the way
0:41
Well I guess they can move now
Guy could have made it except the car would not move!
Where did this take place?
It says it in the description
Ohio
But look, if you look at the railroad crossing you can see it fell!
is the driver named Jordan?
Vanoss crew did this before stop the drug train
Why wouldn't he get tf out smh
Gamer
What the heck is he stuck on???? Dirt?
Hmmmm,
Seems like that guy won't be getting any methylamine.
Should have rammed that white car.
They must void his CDL. hazard to all motorists.
