Looks like Hwy 22 is going to be closed for awhile. Looks like somebody got t-boned by a train. Can't make out what kinda vehicle it is but it looks new and big. Probably a silver Tahoe or suburban or maybe a full size truck. You really couldn't tell. It looked like somebody picked it up and twisted it into a pile.

Prayers sent.

says one person in critical condition

Trains dont whistle because they're scared.

That's doubtful this soon. It's probably just damage from the train.

Video on WAFB's website clearly shows it's a Dodge. The wrecker hauls the truck away on their video and you can see the Ram emblem on the back.

Driver tried to beat the train and obviously lost. I know that particular crossing only has lights but no gates.

And now that you say that, I can totally see it as a brand new Ram.

Is it the one between the post ofc and Airline? I assume it is since I can't think of another crossing.

That's it. I can't tell you how many dumbass plant baws I've seen race to beat an oncoming train right there. Always in a hurry.

Good way to get a arse whuppin' around them parts is to call a Ram a Dodge.

I’m sorry, but nope. This is one of those situations where if it happens I don’t feel an ounce of remorse for the driver.

It isn’t like you know EXACTLY where the big arse loud metal thing is going.
