That car knew what was coming! It was very lucky not to be collected by the truck! Bloody Truck Driver!

Is it me or did the truck keep on going and not know what happened?

My guess is he took some time to stop. That car was clever though, big IQ difference there.

It looks to me as if this crossing is virtually unmarked, and with shockingly poor visibility - an accident waiting to happen. The fact that every road vehicle there was either hit or had to take 11th hour evasive action seems to support this. One idiot I'll say is possible. Two unrelated drivers at the same time - another story.

Bwana from that angle it did look very bad. But no doubt being on the road, and in the car, it might be a different story.

Actually you're right greg, and on a second viewing the van is avoiding the truck, not the train, as he'd already stopped for the train.

I recant my previous comments. That truckie is a bleedin' idiot.
