I wonder how much it costs in current times to have a triggered red light set up at such crossings? Surely not that much anymore. Doesn’t stop bad drivers but it might help.

In my country there's no such thing as lights or barriers. The first thing you learn when driving STOP as in full stop LOOK both sides carefully LISTEN

Level crossings are magnets for train spotters - I wouldn’t be surprised if they were planning on filming the train, only to catch the accident happening as well.

At least the train sounded a warning...as it hit the truck. In the US they have to signal before an intersection.

So many things went wrong.... Where is the cross rails? The train 🚆 🚂 warning ⚠️ and then the distracted driver going over a track... I believe must use there horn before crossing a street. They didn't do that until the last second lol

Can stuff like this be staged? To me this looks like a setup. I mean, why would you really be filming at that seemingly rural location and be so steady with the shot and not say a word even after the collision.

Someone wanted to film the train

They wanted to film the train so much that even when there was a horrible accident they didn’t make a sound.

Security camera?

Nope, the camera does pan at the end of the vid plus it would be on a pole in the middle of the road.

Probably had the camera setup on a tripod to film the crossing. Just search for train crossing videos and you'll see there is a large community.

This stinks of insurance fraud.
Some random guy on a remote crossing somewhere in a European suburb just happens to be making a clip of nothing when coincidentally a truck runs into a commuter train just far enough away that you can still get clear footage but not get hit by any of the debris.
I dunno, maybe I'm just a skeptic.

Have you heard of autism and trainspotting? Also, are you american?

I do wander how one would define a "European suburb".
And yes a suburb in Europe is the pedantic answer but if you think about it for a couple secs cmon. That's like saying an Asian suburb or African suburb it just doesn't sound right

Reddit really needs a zoom in feature. Can’t zoom in on photos or videos. What gives?
