A guy in a SUV with utility trailer hitched behind ran into a Norfolk Southern Local on the old A&Y Line south of Greensboro near Climax, N.C.. Driver was hospitalized with minor injuries. His vehicle was jammed under an empty pulpwood car.The train had 3 diesels MUed and 7 cars and was working local customers. I assume the train was moving very slow...news article didn't say.
Rural crossing with the old crossbuck warning signs and no warning lights

Was it at night?
Daytime.
Wonder if a cell phone was involved?
We are truly surrounded by idiots.
That positively made my day, ROTFL
! .....what a shame
that was a really sweet Ford LTD? station wagon, wood sides and some sweet mag wheels too
OH MAN! I've watched that twice and can't stop laughing. Maybe he had one to many at the picnic~! Guess he didn't see that big train in his road...
If you're gonna be stupid, you gotta be tough!
Close...he apparently mixed up his meds. Allegedly, he drove for several miles down the highway in the wrong lane before hitting the big, yellow, slow-moving train. Maybe saved his life.
