Driver loses control of 18-wheeler, smashes into train tracks

An 18-wheeler traveling just outside of the Forney, Texas, city limits on Highway 80 veered off the highway, causing serious damages to a set of rail road tracks.

The driver lost control of his vehicle and busted through a protective cable that separates the highway from the nearby service road. The 18-wheeler continued barreling down the embankment at a high rate of speed, plowing through bushes and uprooting trees. The truck finally came to a stop when it struck a set of train tracks.

The driver was ejected from the truck upon impact. Reportedly, the impact caused the train track to move approximately two inches out of line.

The driver of the tractor trailer was seriously injured and had to be transported to a hospital by Care Flight.
