Maybe came around the corner too fast it's near the railroad tracks maybe they were trying to beat the train or it's load wasn't loaded properly

Both of those scenarios land squarely on the responsibility of the driver they should have checked their load prior to leaving the yard and they should have employed safer driving techniques luckily no one else was injured or even killed this could have turned a bad situation into something much worse
