A heart-stopping moment unfolded in Schertz, Texas, when a train slammed into an 18-wheeler stuck on the tracks — and it was all caught on camera.
Camron M. Colwell was on his way to church when he spotted a semi-truck in the railroad crossing. In his video, two women can be heard shouting “Get out of the truck!” to the driver just seconds before the collision.
Moments later, the train barreled into the 18-wheel car carrier, sending debris flying.
“I captured a train running into a trailer that was stuck on the railroad tracks,” Colwell said. “We saw the truck stuck and within minutes the train came and hit it.”
Reports say the force of the crash pushed the truck’s cab about 50 yards.

According to the Schertz Police Department, the truck was stuck on the south side of the tracks when it was struck by a westbound train. No injuries were reported and the train did not derail.
The intersection was shut down for nearly six hours, and the crash remains under investigation. Police reminded drivers to stay alert and obey warning signals at railroad crossings.
