Train vs. Truck
Texas of a truck hauling one of those giant windmill blades that thought he was going to make it across the train tracks.
The blades are long. Like 120 feet long. It's not clear what exactly happened, but one can assume the train wasn't nearby when they started crossing the tracks. It looked to be in the middle of a turn when the crossing arms came down.
