Semi Truck Twists and Bends Railroad Crossing Gate and Almost Gets Hit! 

On a hot and humid morning, a Cleveland Works Railway steel slab train pulls out of the casting mill headed for the railways interchange yard. As the train neared the Independence road railroad crossing, a semi was pulling across the crossing. While the semi was almost fully on the crossing, the signals activated. Panicked, the truck driver quickly stopped on the crossing. While the truck was stopped, the gate landed on the top of the truck. The truck driver then tried to pull forward, but while doing so, twisted the gate mechanism around and bent the gate. The truck stopped once again, this time, only feet from the track the train was on. Once the train passed, the gate lifted, revealing just how much the gate was off set.
