[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A fully loaded septic truck was smashed to smithereens when a freight train collided with it at a railroad crossing in Virginia.| Virginia has not been doing well since they put themselves in the hands of the Democrats… |
The violent impact unfolded on Thursday afternoon on Yadkin Road in Chesapeake, Virginia when the truck was attempting to cross the railroad tracks.
Instead it found itself directly in the path of an oncoming eastbound train operated by Norfolk Southern.
Dramatic footage captured by witness Azuriah O’Daniel showed the terrifying moment the train’s horn blasted through the air as the septic truck rolled onto the crossing seconds before disaster struck.
The locomotive slammed into the rear of the tanker with devastating force, ripping the septic tank completely away from the cab, hurling both sections into a ditch beside the tracks.
The impact blasted hoses from the vehicle, mangled metal across the roadway and spewed the truck’s contents across the surrounding area.
Authorities confirmed that hazardous materials were identified at the scene, although police said there was no immediate danger to the public.
