East Russia, Petropavlovsk, Yesterday around 12.30 AM A semi truck approached a train level crossing and for some reason the trucker didn't manage to stop his truck in time with the result that a freight train hit the truck before a passenger train travelling in the other direction, carrying 15 coaches & 494 passengers, also hit the truck resulting in the derailment of 4 empty gondolas of the freight train while 3 couches of the passenger train were damaged and a few passengers were wounded.
The trucker (24) died on the spot.

I would have given up trying to stop and jumped from the truck. Can see him getting on and off the brakes trying to stop the skid. Second train was a surprise.

He pulled the train...twice.

He should have put his foot down and gone for it.
