Nasty. Looks like the lorry got stuck at a red light with its trailer still on the tracks. No wonder someone was campaigning on how unsafe it was.
It sounds just like Playing TT though doesn't it

It is rather coincidental, and you'd think that the rig driver would have known the dimensions of his lorry and noticed...
If I remember rightly though, at a lot of gates in the States they don't barrier both sides of the carriage way, only the side that faces into the traffic...

Where as here in the UK he would have had a gate come down on his roof, I guess in this example nothing similar happened.

Image if they were metal.
Then imagine somebody ran their vehicle into it so that it pointed into the the oncoming locomotive (specifically the front windows or angled just right to go into the side window which is usually open)
Image the scene in Twister where the radio tower impaled the guy
Not a pretty picture.
They're there as a visual block only and to give if forced.
