Have you ever been stopped in traffic and had to watch helplessly as two vehicles crashed into one another, knowing there was nothing you could do?  That's a weird feeling in the pit of your stomach.  And that has to be how these two people felt right before they watched a train plow through this truck that stalled out on the train tracks.

Good news, the truck's driver jumped to safety in time.  Bad news, that truck is done for, son.

Not sure what happened here -- sometimes large trucks like that bottom out when crossing railroad tracks. It's more common than you think.  In this video, it seems like the train crossing is level, though

The crash led to home evacuations because the train was carrying pressurized argon gas.  There were fears the tanks might explode, but no one other than the train's conductor was injured.
