18 Wheeler Stuck on Tracks Gets Demolished By Train in Texas
Traffic was backed up in North Beaumont early Wednesday morning.
Around 6:20 am, a train was traveling through Beaumont, Texas. A Coca-Cola 18-wheeler was making it's way over the train tracks when suddenly it became stuck.
Unable to successfully move the truck out of the way, the train collided with it, causing a massive crash.
There have been some intense train wrecks in Texas within the last year.
LULING TRAIN WRECK
Luling had a terrible and destructive train wreck back in August 2021, an 18-wheeler carrying what seems to be a turbine wing was making a right turn from US 183 in Luling, Texas, and got stuck.
The wing seems to be stuck somewhere which prevented the 18-wheeler from clearing the train tracks. In a last-second effort to save himself, the driver jumped out of the truck and ran.
The train demolished the 18-wheeler and the contents of the train were scattered around. A small farmers market nearby was also damaged and traffic sat by watching the dramatic collision. Luckily, no one was severely injured.
MIDLAND TRAIN WRECK
A truck carrying a trailer found itself stuck smack dab in the middle of train tracks. With the massive and loud train quickly approaching, the driver had to make a swift decision.
According to the Midland County Sheriff's Department, the driver of the truck was able to get out of the truck and out of the way just in time.
