Never mix stupidity with 40tons and 600HP

[Matt308]

My God what an idiot.

According to the person who sent this, the driver has only

been in the U.S. a few months. He had missed his turn by

Billings MT. And figured he could go over the hill and continue

on the road. Apparently he didn't know there were rail tracks

on top of the grade which doesn't matter, he'd be stuck

anyhow..... The truck owner figures he had to hit the angle

at over 55 miles an hour in order to make the top. If you

look close at some of the pictures you will see that it is only

when the trailer pinched the rear tires of the truck that the

truck stopped......

I love the third picture that shows the tracks going through the

field to get there. What a genius!!!



I'm surprised he didn't take the power/communication line down

with him!



I wish I had pictures of him standing in front of his boss.





Press one for English.

I posted the pics on the railroad website I frequent, and it caused a 'stir"

Sometimes I wonder how some people survive with the lack of intelligence they show...

 

[Njaco]

I can't even think of anything to say this is so stupid.

When all else fails................floor it.

The guys over on the RR forum speculate that the driver fell asleep at the wheel and just kept going through a "Tee" intersection.

 

[Trebor]

this defines a dumb@$$ XDD

Funny thing is I don't believe it's in the US if you take a look at the trailer it says Regina , Saskatoon , Winnipeg and Toronto I believe its taken up here . There is no way it could climb that embankment and if he did there would be damage at the top of the trailer. I think he spun out and slid back down. Looks cold maybe black ice

With this type of people at the wheel you're not safe on the road except if you drive a tank...

 

[Wildcat]

What an idiot!

Must have been a hell of a jolt in the cabin going from the horizontal plane at 55mph to a what? almost an instantaneous 45 degree angle? The top rear cabin must have 'met' the air-conditioning unit.

i agree with ya there Thorlifter

 

[Wayne Little]

Well, it's all been said.....

 

[Soren]

Ok that's just downright unbelievable... sure it wasn't his pet dog driving ?

How he ever got his truck drivers license must have been some kind of miracle, or accident...

I see Canadian registered trucks down here in So Cal all the time.

That is rather amusing!

That is rather amusing!

I think the word your looking for is "scary"...Don't get me started on the driver and if he should be driving or even in the country...

One of the guys in the railroad forum posted these pics.
