What's your guess?

Why does the pickup truck swerve onto the train line and derail the train?

The scene reminded me of Roy Neary and his pickup truck from Close Encounters of the Third Kind where he encounters the UFO while reading his map.

Would a pickup truck have a enough momentum to derail a fast moving freight train? I have a feeling it would get smacked pretty hard and sent flying, unless it was packed with explosives, hmm...
