A bit shit to release the name of the driver

I guess there is a Ford F-350 chassis under all the train shit and somehow it's street legal. I also read that the stretch of highway where it happened is poorly designed, and it's completely possible that a overcorrecting to avoid something in the road could lead a large vehicle to jump the very narrow median.

Well I can totally see how that'd kill the shit out of anything it hit.
