More stupidity at railroad crossings...

A train hit a tractor-trailer truck this afternoon in Kings Mountain, NC. The rig got hung up on the tracks at the crossing, despite signs (which are quite visible in the photo) prohibiting trucks from using that crossing, and it's not the first time that's happened at that crossing, hence the signs.

Sometimes people continually prove that stupidity cannot be fixed........
