Neosho, Missouri ...

The driver failed to stop and the train hit the passenger side, leaving its impression in the side of the car.

The car bounced into the guardrail, then ricocheted back into the train smashing the car’s rear and damaging the front of the vehicle.

Seems like the train wasn't going too fast, judging by the the damage to the car, and (fortunately) the Aveo guy only had lacerations on his head. They didn't mention his shorts - I bet they needed some attention too!!

Looks like he added some racing stripes... hope it's not someone on the forum!

Hey Daox - I know where you can get a fresh used engine for your sedan!

a car that weights just over a ton tried to beat a train that weighs 125 tons. STUPID tard !!!! He is lucky he isn't dead.

Yup. You have to wonder what the story is... was he trying to beat the train across and misjudged? Or didn't see/hear it? Distracted driving?

Too bad we'll never know.

The train always wins...

The Aveo looks like a bumblebee that got swatted.

Always look before you leap.
