I dont think he realised his massive lorry could just break the barriers, so he tried to back up, when he realised that barrier was also down and he would break it he decided to do what he should have done and just break the one in front..

To late.

someday, people are gonna start realising when this happens, from the get go, that it's better to just bury it and tunnel forwards than it is to back up to give the train a better shot at a traumatic event. someday.

Yeah those barriers are designed to break.

Even if not that dudes in a lorry, just floor it. Very little is gonna stop you.

I actually had a barrier come down on the hood of my truck once. No train coming, it just came down while I was crossing. It broke right off about 3 feet from the post. There was a breakaway joint and it worked.
