WEST ODESSA, Texas — A truck driver had a miraculous escape Wednesday after his rig became trapped on train tracks as an engine came barreling down the line.
WPTV reported that the dramatic collision of the train and log truck was caught on camera. The train smashed into the truck, sending its cargo of pipes flying through the air but luckily no one was killed.
The truck had stopped to yield to traffic and couldn’t move in time to escape the oncoming train, according to the report. The driver of the truck, 24-year-old Jesus Garcia, was able to leap to safety and he was ticketed for stopping on the tracks, according to the report.
