Driver runs to safety as train hits tanker truck

A tanker truck carrying beef tallow got stuck on a railroad crossing just moments before being struck by an oncoming train. Dramatic video in Fort Worth shows the terrifying moments the truck driver escaped that collision. It resulted in one person being taken to the hospital. Fox 4's Dion England spoke to someone who witnessed the crash. Dion. Hi there, Eden. That's right. Some of those who witnessed the collision yesterday here can't even believe what they saw. The cell phone video, though recorded, captured the shocking scene. It's a heart-stopping few seconds of video, a tanker truck driver bailing from his truck's cab and running just before a train crushes the vehicle. Take another look. You can see a man hurling himself off of the locomotive. You pray for his safety, number one. He knew he was going to hit that tanker, and I'm sure he imagined that there was going to be an explosion. Thank God there wasn't. Um, but in that video you see him jump off and just, I mean the train's going so fast he just bounces off the ground. Again, I'm on this side, and he's on the other side of the track, so I don't even know if he's okay, but I sure hope he is. Brad Farmer works at nearby Wilbanks Metal. He's a lab technician who tests the strength of metals. Wednesday, he recorded video that tested many nerves. His words alone today punctuate what he saw and what anyone who's seen the video felt. Thank God he got out in time. I mean... It looked like he was still trying to back up, and I don't know how much time he thought he had, but it wasn't enough. These trains pass by all day, every day, and nothing like this has ever happened. And I've been in Fort Worth my whole life. I've never been this close to anything like that. It could have been a lot worse. Thank God it wasn't. Now, Burlington Northern Santa Fe tells us that an employee was taken to the hospital yesterday with injuries after that collision. Now, we have not heard anything further from that. They are also urging everyone to use extreme caution around railroad crossings to avoid putting yourself in any danger. That's the very latest live. Eden, back to you. Wow. Heart pounding video right there. Glad he made it out alive. Thank you, Dion.
