After looking at Bing maps I think I found this and it is labeled 66th street in Rosedale Md. There are crossbucks, but the visibility at the crossing is poor. I will bet it isn't the first time he has crossed the track here, and he never even slowed down. You can see the truck approaching the curve in the road at the crossing. He should have had a window down and stopped and looked. At unprotected crossings In Pennsylvania you are required to Stop and make sure you can cross safely. In Ohio, you are required to yield. The road parallels the tracks for some distance before it curves and crosses.
We usually had a 5 car train on the KJR but it always amazed me how many people ran across in front of us. I hope he fully recovers.
The property owners at this crossing should have cleared the brush and trees for visibility, though I doubt it would have prevented an accident here sooner or later.
