VIDEO: Train collides with stranded semi truck on Illinois road

A passenger riding in a car on an Illinois road managed to capture video of the moment a train slammed into a semi truck stranded on the railroad tracks. The semi was stuck on the tracks at a crossing on route 173 in Wadsworth.

According to Pulse, witnesses said the semi became stuck on the tracks when it jackknifed to avoid a car that had slammed on its brakes in front of the much-larger vehicle. The driver quickly jumped out of the passenger side of the semi and ran to safety. Police say there were no injuries from the crash.
