Found this story in today's news paper I just want you all to see. News paper "Lancaster County Pennsylvania U.S.A."
What in God's name was this guy thinking? This kind of stuff you learn in driveing school and also if your high school has it "Drivers ed". I'm thinking that he did not pass the class. Some of my co-workers think that he was drunk but as you can see there is ne evidence in the news paper. Is there any dumber people out there??Freight train collides with tractor-trailer in Fulton Twp.
A freight train struck a tractor-trailer loaded with groceries Friday Morning in Fulton Township. Neither the truck driver nor the train engineer was injured, said Deputy Fire Chief Michael Church of Robert Fulton fire Company. The Norfolk Southern train left Baltimore, bound for Enola, Cumberland County, when it approached a railroad crossing at Port Road south of Peach Bottom Marina about 8:30 a.m. Friday. The truck Driver was lost and had attempted to turn around on the railroad tracks. The tractor-trailer got stuck in a pile of gravel with the rear of the trailer on the railroad tracks, Church said. The train sheared off a section of the trailer before stopping about 200 yards north of the accident scene. State police and a crew of Robert Fulton firefighters were dispatched to the accident. "Our main concern besdes injuries was wether the train derailed and if it was hauling any hazardous materials," Church said. "Fortunately, nobody was hurt, and the train didn't derail. Norfolk Southern officials said the locomotive was damaged, but was able to resume its run after being inspected. "It was a minor incident that's still being investigated," said Rudy Husband, a Norfolk Southern spokesman. "That's all I'm prepared to release at this point." The truck driver, who state police didn't identify, was trying to reach Peach Bottom in York County, but instead drove to Peach Bottom, Lancaster County. He drove onto Port Road, which is a dead end, to turn around. Church warned motorists never to use a railroad crossings as a turnaround point. "Don't be in a hurry and try to turn around on railroad tracks because it could be the last rushjob you do," Church said.
