    Who needs a crossing? A truck ran off the road on Thursday, landed on the tracks and got nailed by a coal train.

    Unfortunately, as is often the case with car vs. train, the driver died at the scene. The crew was unharmed...physically anyway.

    The driver was either drunk, fell asleep, or had a heart attack while driving by the sounds of it. No matter what a terribly unfortunate event. :(

    Well, at least the train crew is OK. Physically. And hopefully otherwise.

    :sad:
