In what looks like a scene from a parody film, an Amtrak train collided with the trailer of a truck carrying 70,000 pounds of bacon on Friday.
There’s literally bacon everywhere.
via NBC:
The
train was passing through Wilmington, southwest of Chicago, when it
collided with a truck near Illinois Route 53 and River Road. The trailer
of the truck was overturned and split open, with its contents strewn
about an embankment. The cab of the truck was separated from the trailer
and came to rest on the opposite side of the train.
There was no immediate word of injuries to crew or passengers, but 10 ambulances were called to the scene.
Passenger
Sam Herwitz said there was an impact followed by confusion when the
train stopped and there were no crew announcements for about 20 minutes.
“No
one knew exactly what we were supposed to do. We didn’t really know if
we’d hit something or we had just done a brake-check kind of thing,” he
told NBC Chicago.
Herwitz
said another passenger next to him bumped his head on the seat in front
of him and that he saw a woman transported to an ambulance. The driver
of the tractor-trailer, he said, walked away from the crash.
“There’s boxes everywhere. But somehow the driver was OK,” he said. “The truck that hit the train is in pieces.”
Herwitz said passengers were being shuttled on buses to Wilmington High School.
Thankfully everyone’s okay! Are you hungry yet? watch here
