Shocking video showed the moment a speeding passenger train slammed into a Florida fire truck that drove past a warning gate onto the tracks, injuring 15 people, including three smoke eaters.
Video released by Brightline shows the view from the front of one of its trains as it raced down tracks in Delray Beach on Saturday — just for a fire truck to still slowly cross the tracks.
The truck appears to come to a virtual stop on the crossing, with the footage cutting out as the train slammed into it — almost completely tearing it apart, photos show
