What probably happened is that the parade was going north-bound and got
stopped a the lights on Front street. The tractor-trailer was following
too closely and stopped on the tracks. The driver was too focused on
maintaining his spacing in the parade to notice the train.


One article I read said there was another truck stopped in front of
the one that was hit. Driver probably never looked back, or if he did,
too late.
