Yes but if the truck was coming from the right it had the right of way and the train should have stopped !!!!!, most likely truck driver didn't look either.

I love how all these vehicle crashes have the same "the driver ran away" lol. Just thinking of some scared bloke running for 5 hours brings me a slight chuckle.
Slow down little world, you're changing too fast.
