    These trains are getting dangerous.
    We should drug/alcohol test these drivers, and see his daily log, I bet he was over hours or was moving houses or something on his time off.

    According to the article, he drove right into the train, at a crossing which had lights, bells, and crossing gates.
    And on a major US highway, US 24 which goes through at least 6 states and is a well traveled truck route.
    And at 6:30 PM which means broad daylight.

    Had to be staring at his phone, if they find it the investigation will reveal if he was distracted.
