Amazon driver shows you lames there’s more than one way to run a train. Split that ass in two!!

They need to mandate crossing arms at all rail crossings. They let companies cheap out on too much shyt in this country.

It’s actually up to the county/city/fra to make that call, then they work out a deal with the railroad to the cost of that upgrade.

Post the front view

Front View Of Amazon Van Split In Half On Railroad Tracks

We obtained another angle of the crash ... and this was from the front of the van, capturing the moment of impact, when you can see the glass shattering on the windshield.

It actually makes sense why he never saw the train coming.

The road curves into the train track and there is absolutely no safety barriers to let him know the train is there. Yeah he could have heard the train but if you are use to driving in cities etc. when a train passes the safety guards are there so you don't go through.

He likely never looked and assume the road was clear.

That man is about to be rich lol.

In rural areas there might not be shyt to warn you, not even a stop sign. I was on a motorcycle trip had to cross this railroad with no signs or lights, that was on a steep hill (so easy to stall out on tracks), and a blind crossing since there were trees on both sides you couldn’t see around until you were almost all the way on the tracks. Scary as hell. Now imagine crossing that in a loud van that could drown out distant, fast moving train sounds.

From that angle he should’ve been able to see the train in his driver side mirror. If you’re marking a left turn, you look left AND check your left mirror for anything you can’t see. He definitely didn’t do that. He just turned left. Now, there absolutely should’ve been safety guards there as well and that’s on the train system.

Stop. Look both ways before crossing a railroad track???

Nah just roll thru and get hit then if you survive sue somebody its the American way.

 

[DonB90]

They have the right of way IF the crossings are protected with gates, lights, or stop signs to warn the public and even then at some crossings, trains have to stop and proceed only when it’s safe.

My guy what the fukk is you talking about? Its a train not a Kia Forte it doesn't work like that

Oooh weeee

the he shouldn't be a delivery driver

It's crazy how people are disagreeing with you in the thread. If you are deaf in one ear, you should not have a license, period

On top of that, I've seen people fail a Truck Driver physical for not passing their eye exam. I've even seen some fail for high blood pressure. But somehow this dude is hired to be a driver. Crazy

Let this same guy who's dead in one ear hit your relatives. Y'all will be singing an entirely different tune

i mean i know DOT does give CDL exemptions for people that do have things such as hearing loss/vision issues, but this guy has clearly demonstrated that he should not be exempted (if he wants to blame his hearing). apparently you don’t need a CDL to drive around those Amazon vans though, probably a way of cutting corners to let any unqualified mf do the job.

quite frankly I think he’s just a dumbass who wasn’t paying attention, but if that’s the excuse they want to go with, then either way he does not need to be driving around making deliveries all day.

he has proven himself incapable of the #1 most important rule of the job. don’t crash.

 

[eufemism]

i drove for amazon for a few months

no training just grab your phone and go where the gps tells you

i had one of the ford trucks. the back of those got so fukking hot during the summer

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

They have the right of way if the crossing is working as intended and they don’t have a rule telling them to stop and proceed. I’m in the railway business and I’m telling you that if a train has a stop and proceed rule over a crossing and they just blow past the crossing and there is an accident, then that railroad is at fault because they(read train) didn’t have the right of way.

The train stops, the conductor gets out and lights fusees at night or has a red flag at day to alert traffic to get them to stop. Then he radios the engineer and tells him that the crossing is manually protected and that it’s safe to proceed.

If non of those things happed and a car gets hit by a train the the railroad is 100% at fault.

I believe the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration over you.

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

LOOKS LIKE HE UNDERESTIMATED THE SPEED OF THE TRAIN. HE MADE A LEFT TURN ONTO THE TRACKS.

YOU COULD SEE HIM GLANCE TO THE LEFT BEFORE MAKING THE TURN. PLUS THE VAN AND TRAIN WERE TRAVELING IN THE SAME DIRECTION PRIOR TO THE TURN. UNLESS THE TRAIN WAS TRAVELING FASTER THAN SPEED LIMIT ON THE ROAD, HE SAW IT BEFORE TURNING.

 

[Woodrow]

How does this EVEN Happen? I see the van moving so it's not like he stopped on the tracks. I don't understand how a train sneaks up on you

he want it to be one way.

it was the other way.
