@ I'm not saying this dude was some genius. I'm just saying it's not as if he just decided to go stop on the tracks... As there were no lights when he started, he likely didn't know a train was approaching either. His hazards were probably on since he was having trouble driving and so they're for alerting others, similar how a semi will do this on hills.

Thankful for the cop and other good Samaritans who helped the driver, but I'm wondering why that driver, who (if you saw the seconds prior to this video) had already been struggling A LOT to get going, proceeded onto the tracks. He/she *had to* see that train before the crossing illuminated. That's a good time to wait it out.

This clip does not tell the whole story. I was watching live. I remember the cop pulling the car over on the cross street, out of camera view. After a few minutes, the car backed up and tried to go over the crossing. It couldn’t so it backed up and slid around for a few more minutes. It finally went back over the crossing and that is when this clip starts. If anything, the cop should not have let it come to this point.
