A video of a train colliding into a large truck stuck at a train track crossing has surfaced online and all we have to say is, “holy mother of moo moo.”

The dramatic train crash, which happened on October 5th in Mer Rouge, Louisiana, was recorded by two witnesses who were waiting to cross the tracks themselves. The pair wrote in the video’s description:

“We were sitting at a train track today on our way from West Monroe, LA to Memphis when we notice a tractor trailer with a crane stuck on the train tracks. Then the train crossing lights came on and I grabbed the camera as the train smashed into the crane.”

The witnesses say they’ve were scolded by commenters for recording the crash rather than calling 911, but retort ,”There was no need as we were sitting right in front of the police station. Believe me, they heard the crash and came running out.”

Local CBS news affiliate KNOE-TV in Monroe Louisiana report that the crash was not fatal, and that this is not the first time a collision has occurred at this particular crossing.
