VIDEO: Midland Sheriff’s Deputy Vehicle Smashed By Oncoming Train

By Tactical Life

A shocking video of a near fatal law enforcement accident is going viral. The video shows a Midland County Sheriff’s Office Deputy nearly killed when a train smashes into his squad car. The train knocks the vehicle completely over, causing it to roll near the tracks.

“According to Sheriff Gary Painter, two deputies in separate vehicles were responding to a call of a baby in distress on Tuesday, May 21. The deputies were driving with lights and sirens on and were going through red lights when they were stopped by a slow moving train,” reported fox7austin.com.

But this railroad crossing contains two parallel tracks. And just as final cars of one slow-moving train was finally passing through the crossing, another speeding train was coming, unseen, from the opposite direction.

But remember, these officers are responding to an infant in trouble. So they’re anxious to get through this crossing and get to the scene. So the lead squad car eases up into the crossing, and the second the final car passes, he accelerates onto the tracks.
