The Minnesota State Patrol on Tuesday released dashcam video footage showing a train striking a semi west of Eveleth last month.
The incident happened on Jan. 20 at the railroad crossing where St. Louis County highways 7 and 101 meet, about 3 miles west of Eveleth. The Patrol reported that the crash happened moments after the semi pulled away from an inspection by State Patrol Sgt. Jeff Shay.
The semi driver “ignored the red flashing lights and train horn and drove onto the tracks,” the Patrol reported Tuesday. “The train dragged the semi about a quarter-mile down the track before stopping.”
There were no serious injuries from the crash; the driver of the semi, a 67-year-old man from Iron, suffered a laceration near his eye and was cited for failing to stop at a railroad crossing.

Don't ja knoooow
Dude is lucky as hell.
What a dumb fuck
Train: "Ope, let me squeeze right past ya!"
Trains: 1,231,655
Cars: 0
When you do something this ignorant, nothing you say can change it!
“He’s fine. Yup. Soooo’. Gotta our Minnesota folk. 😂
What, no comment about how that train managed to stop in just 40 seconds!! 😧😧😧
I hope that truck driver never drives commercially again. What an A$$
What an idiot trucker. Lights on tracks all flashing and everything. 😑
This guy just wanted to commit suicide! Fucking lame Excuses … the Car in front of me … blablablaaa
looked like an attempted suicide to me.
I hope this was the End of of his trucking career, for his safety
Old man truck driver needs to call it quits before he kills someone. we obviously see that he's capable of making stupid decisions which makes him a liability on the road especially with a big truck. Shut her down old man .
Wow!
He tried to run. Straight into a train. No way a white dude is driving that semi
Police officer is in good physical shape. Guy runs too and fro still able to have a calm conversation over the radio. Not the type we have around here.
Driver wanted to kill themself. Train hit truck in drivers door.
Then watch video the driver of truck not badly hurt he says he is ok to cop.
To make matters worse, he did that with a police car right behind him. You must have an IQ of at least 100 to drive a car. LOL
So he was watching the other car instead of the Crossing Lights ?
And couldn't hear that loud ass horn ?..
Shouldn't be driving at all, much less an 18 Wheeler !
what a loser
truck struck train and got pulled away kid. FAIL REPORT
LMAO..GETS STOPPED THEN PROCEEDS TO BREAK THE LAW BY IGNORING TRAIN HORNS AND WARNING LIGHTS…LOL..
Conductor: Can I drag him down the tracks a bit more? This is my first.
O_O
Geez…not even the sound of the train horn gave this guy an inkling that yes indeed, there might be a train attached that horn?
Someone call 9-1, we need an ambrlam
"Shit" = my shift just got extended
They sound like Canadians to me…. but I bet that they can distinguish themselves from Canadians.
I sound like a hillbilly… a lot of us went to college. You can take the kid out of the hollow (valley) but you cannot take the hollow out of the kid.
Smh the train should have slowed down.
So people in Minnesota can't drive, and what about that awful sounding accent?
THAT was a deliberate attempt at Derailment !
While he sat off the side waiting for train ! Look at his tracks wasn't even waiting on the clean pavement !
Perfect
Poor guy, we’re all dunderheads at one time or another, lucky no one got hurt.
It's always hysterical how truckers always say the cars are the problem. Not even close. Probably 80% of semi drivers are a disaster waiting to happen. I see them driving wreckless every day.
"She gone!"
I didn't expect to hear "Come Dancing" by The Kinks start playing on the radio.. (0:13 & 1:23)
Such fond childhood memories; the nostalgia!.
(Thankfully nobody got seriously injured by the end of this accident though!.)
O cara está vendo que o farol está vermelho e ainda travessa na linha
I feel like I'm watching Fargo.
That is insane I guess the truck driver probably got a ticket and he was so pissed that he completely misses the 4 warning lights of the Railtrack.
"I was just watching the car in front of me" Duh…
