Despite the challenges one may face at work, encountering a train while on the job is a rarity, as exemplified by the harrowing incident involving an Amazon delivery van in Milwaukee.
According to TMZ, a shocking event unfolded in November 2021 when an Amazon van was torn in two by an Amtrak train. Recently obtained footage from the scene showcases the intense moment of impact. Remarkably, the delivery van, identified as a Ram product from post-incident images, was completely obliterated as the train barreled through it.
The footage depicts a scene of chaos as airbags deploy, the driver’s glasses are knocked off, and the rearview mirror dangles precariously from the shattered windshield. Despite the collision’s severity, the train narrowly missed the delivery driver by mere inches, leaving behind a gaping void where the cargo section of the van once stood.
Fortunately, reports indicate that the driver emerged from the ordeal unscathed, although preventive measures led them to seek medical attention at a hospital. Additional footage from a forward-facing camera reveals the impact, capturing the moment the windshield shatters upon collision.
This incident is a stark reminder of the unpredictability of work environments and the importance of safety precautions, even in seemingly routine tasks like package delivery.
