Why Didn't You Keep Going Instead Of Trying To Back Up ??

[Naturally]

Happened recently in Utah
What were they thinking ??
Maybe thinking ... "I hate this SUV" ... dunno
The time spent backing up and getting out, they could have driven forward and cleared the crossing.

It looks like he deliberately parked on the train tracks .. he knew the car would be demolished. Look at the way he got out and ran off.

Read this comment on utoob, perhaps it's true.


"For a little clarification, the SUV driver was a new driver and a teenager. She was in shock from just being rear ended by the truck. You can clearly see her stopped at the tracks."

She tried to back up but the crossing bar was in the way, so she panicked and got out. She had also just gotten rear ended by the vehicle behind her and was overwhelmed. At least she didn't get killed!

The SUV was stopped behind the white line and was pushed by the truck onto the track. I think this probably was someone who didn't think well in crisis or under pressure and did a freak out. Would not have happened if not for the truck rear ending them.
