WATCH: Train Tears Through 18-Wheeler Truck Stuck on Tracks

This is why you never want to get your massive 18-wheeler stuck on train tracks. According to KFSN, the crash happened on Sunday afternoon just before 5 p.m. near Highway 99 in Chowchilla, Calif. when the Union Pacific train “carrying hundreds of military vehicles, mostly Stryker armored personnel carriers” had no choice but to barrel into the truck in its path.

The motorist on the road behind the truck had the perfect vantage point to capture to massive crash in action and had an appropriately horrified reaction. Miraculously, no one was injured and the train was able to move forward as scheduled within a couple of hours.
