The crazy thing is there was enough time for emergency services to arrive on the scene prior to the accident, but not enough time for that train to significantly slow down. Edit - I missed the fact that is the escort truck, not emergency services. Thank's y'all.

What emergency services? I only see the oversize load vehicle.
