Pull the jack out, (Yes, I have one in the truck) jack it up, push the front off the tracks jump in and haul ass.

Assuming there’s time for it, of course.

There’s so much stupid there is crashed my phone.

First they drove onto the track.

Then they couldn’t get off.

Then they kept opening the door but didn’t get out.

Then they stayed in the car as a train came towards them.

Then they continued to open and close the door as the train stopped.

My god.

If someone isn’t bright enough to stay off the tracks to begin with, I think they’re gonna fail that quiz.

How the hell do you turn onto the track anyway.

I hope they found the driver, ticketed them and then beat the stupid out of them around the back of the head with a book.

I’m guessing people undercook the left lane turn. There are other vids on that account where people are trying to make a left turn, but end up going onto the train tracks rather than the road. The entire area seems to be well lighted and I find it impossible that the tracks aren’t THAT hidden from plain view.
