Something fishy about this
Just out of curiosity, what’s his party affiliation?
Who(m) did he vote for? /adjusts tinfoil hat
Charlottesville, Virginia news outlet. Hm.
isn’t that Obama’s boyfriend?
I’ve been told by many freepers that nobody has ever died due to weed.

The truck driver almost managed to clear the tracks, after zig-zagging around the ends of both gate crossbucks. (His boss was unable to duplicate that same maneuver during reenactment.)
My guess is that the driver had made that maneuver when the gates were "stuck down" (with no train coming) several times before -- in order to complete his regularly-scheduled trash pickup route.
The train didn't hit the truck, per se It only hit the left rear corner of the hinged loader bucket, which extended off of the back end of the truck body (and, possibly, the right rear tire[s]...)
Had sabotage been the intent, the driver would (and could) have stopped the truck while directly on the tracks, athwart the road (facing away from the train) and bailed out. Instead, he continued on, and made a left turn around the end of the far gate -- and almost cleared the tracks.
Had this been a serious sabotage attempt, the truck would have been a heavy dump body -- loaded with rock -- not a loosely-attached, flimsy trash body, loaded with (mostly) paper.
I looked hard for evidence of a conspiracy; didn't find any. Sometimes a train wreck is just a train wreck -- and a dumb@$$ is just dumb@$$...

FWIW, the Trial is over -- but our da*ned NTSB has not yet released its final report -- as far as I've been able to determine. (Your government bureaucrats doing their usual stellar jobs!)
