"So if you thought it was going to be too close why did you not attempt to flag the truck down?"
You obviously don't know very much about big trucks. First of all he was going to fast for the conditions. Lets see now I open my door and get out and try to get him to sop and by the time he does get stopped he may of been on the track. If he was familiar with the road he should of been going much slower with the grade and curves in front of him. If he wasn't familiar with the road he should of been going much slower not knowing what was in front of him. Maybe I step in front of him and get run over. He should of started slowing up way before he got to the tracks. A big truck that is loaded does not stop or handle like a car or a pickup.
I was there and in my opinion it was to close for my comfort level.
