Chip, thanks. Spoiler warning for drivers this morning.
Be careful at railroad crossings after
a truck driver narrowly escaped an oncoming train.
Yeah, terrifying video. It all happened yesterday in Fort Worth.
Dan Godwin is live there this morning
to show us what exactly happened. Dan.
And, Paige, we are still seeing barricades at this railroad crossing.
When you have a train slamming at full force into a tanker truck,
the consequences, of course, can be devastating.
Here's how it looked when it happened.
Multiple drivers recorded what took place here
at Northeast 29th Street just east of Main Street in Fort Worth.
The tanker truck driver was attempting
to maneuver off the tracks before the impact.
After apparently getting stuck, that driver was able to jump out
of his rig before the crash and get a safe distance away.
The BNSF railway says one of its conductors jumped off
the train before the collision.
The railway reports one of its employees was taken to the hospital.
That person said to be stable and did not have any major injuries.
The tanker truck was transporting beef tallow, a solid cooking fat.
BNSF says it is cooperating with Fort Worth police
to investigate the incident.
Elsewhere, Corsicana police have revealed two men
were killed earlier this week after being struck
by a train happened Tuesday night on West 12th Avenue.
Officers say when they arrived,
they found a Jeep with the two men inside.
Both were declared dead at the scene.
Investigators believe the men tried to drive past
the railroad's crossing arms as the train was approaching.
In a public statement yesterday being
BNSF said the incident that happened here serves
as an important reminder about the crucial importance
of drivers exercising caution around railroad tracks.
Reporting live in Fort Worth, Dan Godwin on Good Day.
