I'm more concerned about the train driver/s then the moronic truck driver.

I think it is more the problem of the moronic crossing designer - the boom on the EXIT side should not start to close until AFTER the boom on the ENTRY side has fully closed ! This lets any driver accidentally caught after the boom gates start to close, to escape on the other side without any drama - this smash could have easily been prevented.

So just ignore the lights and blame it on some else?

Why wouldn't he drive through the boom gate to get out of the way?
