    i paused that video a couple of times. to me, it appears that driver was in the seat when it got hit, and got thrown out.

    Normally once you are high centered, you have to lift the trailer somehow, add air to airbags if drive wheels are spinning, or have someone tow you off. First thing to do if hung up on RxR is call the number listed at the RxR crossing

    It’s going to need a hell of a lot more than just that! The impact ripped one of the axles off the tractor!
