[quote user="Semper Vaporo"]   That "300 ft of skid marks" has to be exageration... Aint that the length of an (American) Football field!  Just how fast would that truck have to be traveling to leave skid marks the entire length of a Football field?    <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] The truck could have been moving 70 mph.  That would be 102 feet per second.  The truck would be slowing during the skid, so it is hard to say how much time elapsed during the skid.  But skidding 300 feet does not seem far fetched.  From the damage pattern on the train, I doubt the truck was moving over 15 mph at impact.
