This happened not too far from my house yesterday!

This story is via www.kark.com (channel 4 local news)

A train and truck collide killing the driver of the big rig. It happened Wednesday on Highway 11 near Searcy in White County. 66-year-old Dale Guthrie died when his tractor-trailer was slammed by an on-coming train, one fire officials believe he never saw. According to witnesses, another train was stopped on the tracks, and when the victim tried to go around it, he was struck by a train coming from the other direction. The impact of the crash caused the train to jump the tracks.
