No way you people are blaming this on the train that stays on a fixed path lmao. That Arizona education system is really showing

@averybenson that wasn’t the case this time. This time it was the truck drivers fault.

To anybody saying that this wasn’t a fatal accident, please notice in one of the videos, there is a very clear video of the front driver side of the truck’s cab. They have put a blanket over the opening where the window would be, typically this is an indication of a fatality that has been confirmed and they are trying to respectfully conceal a cadaver. Same thing as when they lay a white sheet over a person who has passed and is on the ground.

Let’s be realistic, had to be flying had to run a red light. It knocked the train off the tracks so we don’t have to assume anything. There’s certain things if we have a brain in our head that we can see that it was something along those lines but we do have to wait for the referral report. There’s no doubt about that.

@jdmz95 @jdmz95 @jdmz95 @jdmz95 I was walking back to the Low Budget from QT. I watched him peel out of the West side parking lot. There are plenty of tweakers staying here that could confirm
