Truck topples over after being foolishly impatient

Patience is a virtue. Most people don't have it, but this truck driver is going to be repeating that phrase to himself for a long time after this accident.

A truck was stopped at a railroad crossing as a train was passing by, and he was impatiently waiting for it to pass. The driver decided to go before the entire train had passed, and a dashcam captured it toppling over after colliding with something hanging off the back of the train.

Hopefully the driver didn't sustain any serious injuries because that crash looked awful. It almost looked like it was happening in slow motion.

If he had waited a few more seconds, it could have been avoided.
