Looks like those wheels bore right a bit when the tram hit the safety prow.
Hmmmmmm. Stupid bastard. They should sue his sorry ass for the damages.

Not only were both axles de-railed, but the grooves
the de-railed truck made in the road are over 1.5
metres to the left of the tracks - beats me how the
driver failed to notice the fact that the rear section
was running off at such an angle. Of course the
safety zone put an end to that.

You can see the grooves in this picture. You can just make out the
intersection in the background where the truck derailed.
