That story is so f*cked up you can't believe a word it says.

If that train was moving at 60MPH, there is NOTHING the train crew could have done. It takes over a mile to stop a train at 60MPH.

If the train was moving at 60MPH, that trailer would be a mile down the road, and twisted up like a pretzel. The death toll would be much higher, as in, everybody including the truck driver. From the pictures, looks like some chairs were knocked over.

I bet it was moving at more like 6MPH, not 60.

If the lights and gates were working, what the hell was the truck doing crossing the tracks?
I imagine that as it was in a line it could neither go forward or back
up.

The "Daily Mail" is a UK newspaper not noted for journalistic
accuracy.
It goes for sensationalism, aimed at people who want to be entertained
not informed.
If you want accurate reporting, go for "The Times" or "The
Telegraph".

The USA is often targeted for being whacky, incompetent or crazy.
Or ideally all three.
