I drove by this accident a few hours after it happened and it gave me chills, it was not a pretty sight seeing the truck mangled by the train. I didn't see a trailer, I pray it wasn't a suicide attempt and I also pray for the engineers on the train, I'm sure it was a horrible sight for them to see !!
