Video shows train plowing through semi-truck stuck on tracks

A semi-truck was destroyed by a freight train after getting stuck on some train tracks.

And a motorist caught it all on cellphone video.

The video shows the driver of the semi-truck getting out and trying to get the attention of the train by waving his arms, but the train plows through the semi.

“A North bound Union Pacific freight train loaded with military equipment was obstructed by a semi-truck that was on the tracks,” Union Pacific’s director told CNN. “There were no injuries in the incident. An investigation is underway.”

According to the SF Gate, the incident occurred in California’s San Joaquin Valley.
