WATCH: Truck Crashes Through Barrier At Level Crossing Causing Serious Damage

Major delays to DART services are expected on Thursday after a truck severely damaged a level crossing.

The incident happened at Serpentine Level crossing.

The truck was parked in the middle of the yellow box and in order to avoid being hit by one railing at the rear of the truck, it sped on and smashed through the barrier in front of it.
