Train hits truck at Texas crossing

Footage has emerged of a flatbed trailer being struck by a train at a crossing in Texas, before it was dragged half a mile down the track.

The driver managed to get out of his rig minutes before the train hit on Wednesday morning in Midland.

That was some crash! Glad no one was hurt. Wonder why the truck stopped on the crossing? Be interested to know.
Cheers
Phil
