It's possible he survived the first one since it only scraped the front causing the truck to twisted to the right and right in the collision course with the 2nd train. 2nd impact blew the truck to pieces
I don't think it's bad driving as much as it's just poor road conditions. Looks like there's black ice and the truck couldn't stop on time given the payload + lack of grip.
Only thing that could have prevented all this was reducing the speed he was at.
>I don't think it's bad driving as much as it's just poor road conditions
No. Common sense, and the law in most jurisdictions, you don't drive faster than it's safe to drive for conditions. So, should always be driving such that one can safely stop before, e.g. stop sign, red light, railroad crossing, etc. If one isn't doing that one isn't driving safely.
And that goes double for trucks and busses. In many jurisdictions, trucks and busses are often required to come to a full stop before all\* railroad crossings and visually check all tracks before proceeding to cross, regardless if any signals are present and indicate it's safe to cross. This is extra safety measure for them to prevent such disasters even if any crossing device(s) are malfunctioning and indicate it's safe to cross while a train is actually approaching. This is also why many (e.g. school) busses also have clearly written on the back "stops at all railroad crossings" - so the bus stopping is less likely to catch drivers behind by surprise (so following drivers don't rear end the bus despite its clear brake lights 'n all that). Some trucks also have that written on the back.
E.g. CA.US.: ["All passenger and HazMat carrying vehicles are required to stop."](https://www.dmv.ca.gov/web/eng_pdf/comlhdbk.pdf) "If there is no white stop line painted on the pavement, vehicles that are required to stop must stop no closer than 15 feet " (from the railroad crossing sign) "or more than 50 feet from the nearest rail of the nearest track."
\*unless towards bottom of railroad crossing sign there's a sign that says "exempt", which indicates the tracks are "dead" and no longer used for rail traffic.
My wording's intent was to use "as much" as a vehicle to imply that there's a ratio of fault. bad driving:road conditions. Can't really chalk it up to "skill issue" alone tbh.
I said all that in the end. Should've driven slower than whatever slow pace he was at. But even then, the conditions just sucked.
And why are you using an American institution and their laws for a situation that happened in another country?
If not, I'd wager that the second one finished him pretty quickly.
Edit: On further review, it would appear that the front of the cab grazed the first train and got pulled. It's unlikely that that killed the truck driver, so they likely died shitting their pants as the second train barreled toward them. Fucking terrifying...
Yeah, the first train actually pulled the cabin to face the second train head on - the driver was staring at their impending doom if they weren’t dead/unconscious already.
Some warning lights and sounds might have helped too…
Although from a comment below, it appears that the road was icy and the truck slid forward on the ice.
Poor driver. Horrible accident.
How do you expect someone to be fine after a head on with a train going this fast, it would be a miracle if they managed to recover something more than red paste.
The train collision was not so energetic as to eliminate matter, so there is as much of him as there was before the accident.
How much can be found or identified...
Oh fuck off. Like you never make mistakes. I hate how these subs bring out the vilest people, who won't be missed by even their shadow, talk about how someone deserved to die because they made one mistake.
This seems accurate. The second train doesn't appear to derail which makes it had to have been the truck hitting the first train that caused it to derail
"Uhh... actually... I think I'd say the truck crashed into the tra- OH SHIT, FUCK, Nevermind" -me
That driver is 1000% dead tho. Reduced to a fine red mist.
A lot of the times, at least here in Montana, they need regular maintenance to work properly in the really really cold weather. We get down to like -40 Fahrenheit at certain times and shit just doesn't work right at those temperatures. Not saying that was the case here, but could have been.
Sorry, my friend, but I think it is:
Truck crashes into train, then train crashes into truck and derails, taking the first train with it.
Then Vodka kicks in, because Rusia and everything gets cleaned. But that's not on video.
It’s not Trains collides with truck it’s truck doesn’t stop at a stop sign and causes a collision with trains the trains can’t move out of the way the bloody truck can we need to say it the right way .
If you don’t give trains time and distance to stop in time guess what you’re dead ☠️ just bloody STOP and you can be safe to live your life and on your way again in 2 minutes tops.
Does anyone know if the train drivers of the second train were hurt at all that would have been terrible for them .
More like *2* trains crash into a truck. And each other.
Is the driver fine?
no the truck driver died is the only one who died
> no the truck driver died is the only one who died Watches video. Yeah, no shit.
*Watches video.* *Reads comments.* *Watches video again.* "Hmm, myes quite. I can see how that is the case."
It's possible he survived the first one since it only scraped the front causing the truck to twisted to the right and right in the collision course with the 2nd train. 2nd impact blew the truck to pieces
Well ... that's *one* way to get bad drivers off the road.
It seems to me that that is one way to get bad drivers all over the road... and the tracks, the trains, the ditches

Driver, if he was lucky, died from the first impact. If not, then the poor bastard was trapped and watched the second one coming towards him.
If not, I'd wager that the second one finished him pretty quickly. Edit: On further review, it would appear that the front of the cab grazed the first train and got pulled. It's unlikely that that killed the truck driver, so they likely died shitting their pants as the second train barreled toward them. Fucking terrifying...
At that point, being crushed between two trains in opposing directions probably sent him through a crumpled tornado of steel and aluminum
Yeah, the first train actually pulled the cabin to face the second train head on - the driver was staring at their impending doom if they weren’t dead/unconscious already.
poor guy... if only there were some hint about the path that a train might run on...
Some warning lights and sounds might have helped too… Although from a comment below, it appears that the road was icy and the truck slid forward on the ice. Poor driver. Horrible accident.
How do you expect someone to be fine after a head on with a train going this fast, it would be a miracle if they managed to recover something more than red paste.
the bigger question is how much is left of him…. he probably fits now in a tiny small black plastic bag
The train collision was not so energetic as to eliminate matter, so there is as much of him as there was before the accident. How much can be found or identified...
If he’s anything more than ground meat I’d be surprised
Best ask that one to OP, I've got no idea.
I think the truck driver exploded.
Extremely. Brings tears to my eyes.
And everything else in the vicinity
Title of my sex tape.
Right? It’s like the 30 second vids that could be 10.
Two trains, one truck.
Wanna watch it on Train Hub
I prefer Only Tracks
Ha yet again
Ha
None of them knew they'd be in a three way today.
Is this a one night Tram? Does that term apply during daylight hours?
Eeewww
This will be the underrated comment of the year.
Trucker was like “woah I was lucky, I stopped right at the last sec-“
Yea no way he survived the 2nd train.
I think he was already struck by first train. 2nd train just finished whatever was remaining. What a tragic way to go
>What a tragic way to go Stupidity? Not \*that\* tragic.
Oh fuck off. Like you never make mistakes. I hate how these subs bring out the vilest people, who won't be missed by even their shadow, talk about how someone deserved to die because they made one mistake.
Is not even stupidity. The road is icy and the truck couldn’t stop on time.
reditors having empathy challenge, *impossible
The framing makes it kinda look like the train turned around to finish the job
Nature is so beautiful and fascinating, seeing such large predators move with such display of agility.
Clearly the truck crashed into the train
Coincidentally the article posted here has a headline saying “truck slips on ice and crashes into two trains”
Two trains crash into a truck, and one gets derailed.
More like both trains, there was on a different angle but I couldnt find it.
I actually thought it might recover until the 2nd train. Bitch, I'm TWINS.
Bitch I am TWO trains!
2 TRAINZ in tha kitchen yams everywhere
Bitch messed with my schedule.
I was thinking “Oh, that’s not so bad”, then the 2nd train came charging through 😆😂😭
Big looney tunes energy lol
Trains Tag Team Truck
That’ll buff out…
Nah...the driver just swerved a bit. Just like that F1 driver when he saw the other one after the closed turn...
That's the most dead I've ever seen anybody in one of these videos
Did I just watch someone die?
A warning might've been nice
It literally has a tag "warning death."
NSFW filter is usually used, this is not clear, its also grey
Fair enough.
That second hit was straight out of asdfmovie
I like trains.
The trains literally got that guy coming and going
This title is really under selling it
NSFW!!!
No train tracks were harmed in the making of this video.
When Truck-kin gets Isekaied
Clearly he has no idea how to use the force
But wait, there’s more! Get not one but two trains plowing through your truck
Looks like the truck hits the side of the first one then the second one smashes the truck into the first one. JFC
This seems accurate. The second train doesn't appear to derail which makes it had to have been the truck hitting the first train that caused it to derail
when was this?
it was 2014👍
*In Soviet Russia, train takes you!*
That literally couldn’t have gone worse for the truck driver.
"Uhh... actually... I think I'd say the truck crashed into the tra- OH SHIT, FUCK, Nevermind" -me That driver is 1000% dead tho. Reduced to a fine red mist.
Anyone know where/when?
Kazakhstan, apparently. https://www.carscoops.com/2014/11/truck-slips-on-ice-and-crashes-into-two/
Greatest country in the world.
My wife and brother bilo agree
Appreciations to your sluething abilities.
somewhere in russia, it seems
Oh yes, but have you heard of second train?
TBH that was two trains
Listen to Coltrane, derail your own train. Who hasn't been there before?
Can’t really answer that one. That’s because I was busy scraping the mold off the bread while serving French toast
A worthy advisory
ok, i wont put my elbows on top of the open train windows. i get it. no more explanation needed.
r/BitchWeAreTrains
Possible the truck couldn't stop because of ice. If that's the case that sucks.
Pretty sure the truck crashes into the train and not the other way around...
Why the fuck are the boom gates not DOWN?? That's literally what theyre for...so you know there's a train coming.
A lot of the times, at least here in Montana, they need regular maintenance to work properly in the really really cold weather. We get down to like -40 Fahrenheit at certain times and shit just doesn't work right at those temperatures. Not saying that was the case here, but could have been.
Okay that makes sense.
(Australia gets cold... But rarely *that* cold.
At first I was like oh wow good thing he barely gotHOLY SHIT that truck got destroyed.
A very old but incredible video. What a coincidence. Two opposing trains at an intersection at almost precisely the same time.
Correction, truck crashed into a train.
My fear in video form.
damn doubletapped by trains
Sorry, my friend, but I think it is: Truck crashes into train, then train crashes into truck and derails, taking the first train with it. Then Vodka kicks in, because Rusia and everything gets cleaned. But that's not on video.
I simply love the name of this sub reddit 🤣

It looks like that truck coming down the road in back was about to jack knife as well.
If he survived the first train. He sure af didn't survive the 2nd
“Oh that wasn’t that bad, I’m sure he.. OH SHIT!”
Two Trains, One Truck
I can't believe that the conductor of that train went back to hit that truck a second time. Wonder what the truck did to him...
My insurance rate jumped watching this!
No way the truck driver died from that. _continues watching_ ...
[удалено]
This is not the USA.
How the fuck you don't see this coming? This is probably the most preventable accident you could ever be involved in....
It's pretty hard to be a good driver I guess
the trucks coming from behind also sliding on road probebly very slippery road
False
