Train hits truck

A pic "as it happened". I'm not sure if I posted this previously, apologies if a duplicate (ok, I'm old). http://www.railroadforums.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=19696&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 train was moving at about 20, truck was trying to get clear but missed "by that much".....

You know, I wish the picture was super sharp.. I wonder what the Conducter was doing as it hit the truck... maybe hiding? even in this picture i can't see the conducter

well, it's a bit difficult to get super-sharp when sticking the camera out of a moving car's window and just pointing it in the general direction. It's not like I had more than a few seconds to grab the camera, turn it on and shoot the shots. It autofocused on whatever, I wasn't looking thru the viewfinder, I was driving a car at the time thru an intersection with many cars turning and trying to move out of the way...... The conductor and the engineer are on the floor, praying that the trailer isn't full of barrels of gasoline......
