If the leading wheels are allowed to continue any interval down the original track, uncountably infinitely many people die.

Only if those people can also be infinitely packed into the distance the leading truck (the set of wheels) manages to travel.

Which, I guess is fair play in a thought experiment involving different sizes of infinities. :)
