18-Wheeler Wind Turbine Train Track Crash
H/t: Car Scoops
Sometimes, drivers may overestimate how sharp a turn actually is and may come in too hot, but when you’re behind the wheel of a semi-truck, it could become a nightmare. That’s exactly what happened here, when this 18-wheeler hauling a wind turbine blade rolled over after being struck by a freight train in Luling, Texas this past Sunday. Union Pacific railroad officials said the train collided with the truck around 2:30 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. 90 and U.S. 183.



Police confirmed that there were no injuries after the incident, but it was not immediately clear to what extent the freight train was damaged. Witnesses claimed that there were no flashing lights or crossing bars down when the semi-truck started to cross the tracks, and had no way of knowing that a train was coming.
