This One Is Really Hard to Believe!

I have written here on several occasions about the idiots who drive around the gates trying to beat trains at grade crossings. Here’s another one … but with a twist.

Yesterday, in Detroit, a fire truck responding to a fender bender had to deal with some spilled fuel. One of the fire fighters parked the rig with the rear end sitting on the train tracks.

Yep, you guessed it: along comes Amtrak and … POW!

The ladder truck is worth $600,000. No, wait … the ladder truck WAS worth $600,000.

The fire chief is not happy. The fire fighter is in very deep kukai (as we say here in Hawaii).

By the way, the fire truck was Number 13.
