Instead of stopping at the tracks, which had red lights flashing indicating a train was coming, the driver of the semi-truck continued driving. That’s when the train slammed into the truck, dragging it for several hundred metres.
The driver of the truck has been identified as James Floyd Saatela, 67.
According to WDIO News, Saatela only suffered a minor cut near one of his eyes.
