I guess no one practices rail grade safety, anymore?
I was taught to wait until you're totally sure there is
room on the other side of the tracks. Look, listen,
feel for oncoming train. Then, promptly cross
completely. I've been doing that for decades.

I'm glad some of the people were able to jump or
be pushed to safety. Still, this need not have
happened if the driver was practicing safety.

The story I read said the first truck crossed and was stopped not leaving
enough room for the second truck. Why he was stopped was not stated. In a
parade, there are often sirens and horns blowing so the crossing gate bells
would not be heard.
