A shocking video shows the moment a cargo train smashed into a semi-truck in Texas[2] on Sunday morning.

The four-second clip begins with the HGV sitting across the train tracks moments before a train barrels into it at full speed, causing it to topple.

According to the woman who shared the footage on X, the dramatic collision happened at around 9am.

The motorist who filmed it can be heard saying ‘Oh my God’ and his passenger cries ‘holy s***’ while they watched the carnage unfold.

Parker County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the incident occurred at FM 5 at Annetta Centerpoint Road, just west of Forth Worth and Dallas.
