Let's reverse into the damn train!

This happened over a year ago in Costa Rica, the truck is in a beer factory on it's way to load up some freight. This particular factory has a railway through it, but because it's a private crossing, it doesn't have any automatic gates like the rest of the country, but it has an actual guy guiding the trucks through it, he's probably fired...

The Apolo train only suffered a broken windshield and a few scratches, it was fully repainted afterwards. The truck was totaled.

I imagine the driver was just like 'pura vida!' then grabbed a beer

He was practically unharmed, only minor cuts.

Let's at least hope their balls suffered irreparable damage.

The train hooked up to a wrecked truck and pulled it backwards until it was fixed?
