I’ve seen some silly stuff committed by drivers before, but this is one of the silliest.
Earlier this week, a driver managed to get himself trapped on a set of Burnaby rail tracks.
No, his vehicle didn’t run out of gas. Nor was it a mechanical malfunction.
Look at the photo above of a small blue sedan that somehow ended up stuck on the train tracks at Boundary Road near Henning Drive. You can see it’s not facing either direction of the damn road.
Burnaby Fire Department was called to assist in trying to remove the vehicle before any trains went by.
Luckily – yes luckily - a tow truck just happened to be driving by and assisted the firefighters in removing the car from the tracks. It appears that the driver of the vehicle tried to do a U-turn on the train tracks and got stuck.
Yep, you just can’t make this stuff up. Fortunately for the driver – and train staff – that the vehicle was removed before it got smashed by a locomotive.
People, be better. Our roads are dangerous enough without drivers pulling stunts like this.
