00:48cutting it in half Wednesday
00:50News Chopper 12 captured the aftermath
00:52in rural Jefferson County
00:54near Exonia
00:55what did you hear and feel
00:57when that train hit your truck
00:59just air and the pressure
01:02I felt the airbags
01:04and
01:05it was just
01:07I didn't know what to feel
01:10to be honest with you
01:11the Milwaukee husband and father of two little girls
01:14posted these photos of the wreckage
01:16on his Facebook page
01:17he traced his route in red on this map
01:20showing how the road parallels the track
01:23before the crossing
01:24limiting a driver's view of the tracks
01:26I just tried
01:29I made a look
01:29as I was going down
01:30the hill to swerve
01:32and I didn't see anything
01:34he was on my left side
01:35Evans says he's deaf
01:37in his left ear
01:38and didn't hear the horn at first
01:40literally he was like
01:41one long beat
01:43the horn from the
01:44from the
01:46from the train
01:47and I put my foot on the gas
01:50I was like
01:51I don't know how far
01:52I'm gonna get away from
01:52he got far enough
01:54to save his life
01:55when all of us looked at that video
01:58in the aftermath
01:58the photographs
01:59we just couldn't believe
02:01you survived
02:02I still can't believe right now
02:05myself as well
02:06so this will be
02:07an extra special Thanksgiving
02:09beyond thanks
02:12Terry Sater
02:13WISN 12 News
02:15yeah thanks
02:16I ordered a TV
02:17yeah no one's getting their packages
02:19my Playstation was on there
02:21oh my god
02:22if my Playstation was on there
02:24I would push him
02:26in front of the train
02:26we've encountered a delay
02:27yeah
02:28yeah
02:29no
02:30get back here
02:32stand on the tracks
02:34does it sound like he
02:36so
02:37what I'm gathering
02:38is that
02:39is he at fault
02:40well this is
02:41we couldn't hear
02:41well there's
02:42there must be no
02:44signals where he was
02:45there'd have to be lights
02:47but not arms
02:48is there lights at all
02:49doesn't there have to be lights
02:50I think so
02:51I think there does have to be lights
02:52if there's no arms
02:53I think there at least has to be lights
02:54unless that's a state thing
02:56or something
02:57but it seemed
02:58it didn't look like there
03:00that they had lights
03:01I think he just drove across
03:04and got smoked
03:05oh wait
03:06she was going to tell us there
03:07sorry
03:08I avoided the news banter
03:09but I think she's going to give us more info
03:11well there are no signals
03:12lights or warning sounds
03:13at that crossing
03:14Evan says he feels
03:15something more needs to be done
03:17to alert drivers
03:18regarding oncoming trains
03:19the train hit him
03:20on his 33rd birthday
03:22he's still pretty sore
03:23from the impact
03:24I don't think that guy
03:26is doing okay
03:27mentally
03:28it sounded
03:28yeah he sounded really nervous
03:30and shaken up about it
03:32before that he was probably like

05:44like Dave gets
05:45sometimes
05:46where it wasn't
05:47enough for him

06:32it cut at the
06:34exact right place
06:36the whole back
06:37half of the van
06:38filled with
06:38Amazon deliveries
06:40is smushed
06:41to bits
06:41the front cab
06:43is what remained
06:44there must be
06:44like a
06:45like a weak spot
06:47or something
06:47that's right there
06:48like that
06:49tore it in half
06:50it looked like
06:50it was where the
06:51exactly where
06:52yeah exactly
06:54back of the truck
06:55so you're allowed
06:56to
06:56like the
06:58being deaf
06:58in one ear
06:59obviously that
07:00hampered him
07:02a little bit
07:02but you're cool
07:03to drive that way
07:03right
07:04yeah I mean
07:05well there was
07:06no signal anyway
07:07right
07:07no but the horn
07:08there wasn't
07:09but even still
07:09like me
07:10the train
07:11heard the horn
07:11in the other ear
