Train into FedEx truck

on Jan 25, 2017
A transit train slammed into a FedEx tractor trailer in North Salt Lake, Utah. The gates and flashing lights were not working properly at the time. Apparently the gates were affected by severe ice and snow and they came down after the accident. No one was seriously hurt in the crash.

Winter conditions make it hard to see I guess.

Expect way more of this soon when any and all regulations making this safe will be gone.
