In my early days it was the fog of the booze but really it is just the heat radiating off of the pavement that gives that illusion.

That "water" you see is a reflection of the sky. The air acts like a mirror.

Buddy of mine in Pickering Nuclear Security died that way. The mirage hid a train sitting on the road crossing in the distance.
Jim M pulled out to pass the semi he was following as it slowed. The semi was slowing/stopping for the train but Jim M didn't see the train previously in the distance. Due to mirage and later due to being behind the semi.
Jim M had continued at speed and accelerated out from behind the semi.And didn't get stopped in time before hitting the train.

The heat of the pavement creates a layer of hot air that acts like a lens, causing the sky to be reflected.

True. From what I read of the report Jim was in behind the semi and missed seeing the signs. He should have known however that the RR track was there. Everybody crosses it twice a day to & from work.
Probably what lulled everybody's attention was the fact a train only used that crossing 4-5 times per year.
