Had a call today with this...
Thankfully no injuries and we were able to get a hold of the rail line to get the trains stopped.

There's no crossing there. Was he going down the path the flatbed is on and then made a left turn? Why?

The car is 330 feet from a crossing. If you look closely at the first picture where the two men are standing, there is a bumper cover. The left side of the picture barely shows a highway. While speaking with the driver he said he went to change lanes, jerked the wheel, and then went for quite the ride. Speed limit for the highway is 70mph and he figures he was somewhere around there when he left the road.
He jumped the tracks and landed on the other side. He tried to turn the car around and got it stuck.

Very nice!
In other news, I had to shut down the Burlington Northern rail road for a little bit today.

Truck driver is contracted with BNSF to spray the weeds around the tracks/intersections. She went to turn around and the truck started sliding. Put it in 4-low and buried the axle. I'm glad I'm on my days off now; this weekend was insane.
