A truck carrying a crane stalled out on the track in Mer Rouge, Louisiana was struck by a massive freight train on Sunday afternoon, and it's horrific to watch in action. Nobody was killed, according to local media reports, but two engineers on the train were seriously injured.
One engineer suffered a compound fracture, according to the local News-Star, and another may have suffered a fractured spine. The driver left the truck when it became stuck on the tracks.

Amazingly, nothing too harmful was spilled as a result of the crash, just some non-toxic argon that was quickly cleaned up.
But, holy crap does that look bad.
