How can a slow moving flatbed with a police escort get hit by a "high speed train?"

Supposedly it stalled and some of the warriors and wives were not able to get off in time.

I just saw this...tragic. 
Prayers headed in their direction indeed.
Semi tractor has a banner on the front bumper that reads, "Hero's On Board" gotta wonder what the driver was thinking when the lights started flashing...
Very sad!

All, this one hits hard. There were some of our own that were killed or wounded to include QPs and spouses of QPs.
If you are the praying type, they need it.

Midland Police have confirmed the identity of the four fatality victims in last night’s train accident.
37 year old Army SGM Gary Stouffer and 47 year old Army SGM Lawrence Boivin were pronounced dead at the scene. 34 year old Army SGT Joshua Michael and 43 year old Army SGM William Lubbers were transported and later pronounced dead at Midland Memorial Hospital.
As of 7:00am, five victims remain at the hospital (four in stable, one in critical), and one is currently in critical condition at University Medical Center in Lubbock.
UPDATE: one who was transported to Lubbock, has been downgraded to serious condition. She is now in stable condition now.

SGM Lubbers was the 3rd Group Ops SGM.
RIP, Sergeant Major.
