Incidents at level crossings are not uncommon and happen all over the world. The action of this video takes place at an intersection in the town of Ringgold, Georgia, USA.
Just before the lowering barrier of the level crossing, a truck with a low-loader with a crane gets stuck on the rails.
The train did not have time to stop and literally swept away the trailer and cargo. The driver of the car managed to escape in time and was not injured. Before the collision, he uncoupled his tractor from the trailer.
“This is the best possible outcome of a train-truck collision. No one was hurt, there was no derailment, the train suffered minimal damage and the man saved his truck…these tractors are expensive,” summarized NismoFinder, one of the video hosting users.
It is curious that the car from which the shots were fired was backing up. However, the video came out impressive.
