Angelo and Rhianna were both truck drivers. They worked as a team, riding together in the same truck and taking turns driving. While at work one day, they were driving their truck on the assigned route to make a delivery when they came to a railroad crossing. Angelo, who was driving, did not slow down or stop for the railroad crossing because the warning lights were not flashing and the crossing gates were not down (i.e., were not blocking the road). As Angelo drove across the railroad crossing, however, the truck was hit by a train. Angelo and Rhianna were both injured. An investigation later discovered that Angelo and Rhianna had been engaged in sex while Angelo was driving, at the time the truck was hit by the train.
