Driver okay but cited after semi truck obliterated by train
By Wimberly Patton

A truck driver is okay after a wreck that obliterated his rig in Idaho on Tuesday.
The accident happened on December 22nd at around 10 a.m. at U.S. Highway 95 and Highway 20/26 in Canyon County, near Deb Lane crossing.
According to KTVB 7 News, an empty semi truck failed to yield to an oncoming train and was struck, obliterating the rig and rupturing the fuel tank, spilling fuel across the tracks. It is unclear whether the semi truck driver was stopped on the train tracks or was attempting to cross ahead of the train at the time the incident occurred.
Luckily, the 65-year-old unnamed driver was miraculously uninjured in the incident, but he has since been cited. The exact nature of his citations were not clear.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.
Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, all year round.Last edited: Dec 30, 2020

He may be alive but he’s going to have to dip into his retirement fund to pay off the fines he’s getting-if he has a retirement fund. Add the fact that his fuel tank was ruptured in the collision(which requires a hazmat response) and the costs of that are going to skyrocket!
Bud A. Thanks this. -
He will be fine.
Chinatown probably found him a new job by now. -
