The driver then backs up slightly away from the tracks, bending the barrier arm backwards, but stops before appearing to intentionally move the van forward.

The van then crosses the tracks, narrowly avoiding being turned into twisted metal by the train.

“It was a miracle he made it,” Brown told YourGV.com.

“Given the speed of the train and the van, I thought we were going to see crumpled metal or worse, but he managed it.”

The train was eventually forced to stop after the potentially fatal incident.

“The Pepsi driver should be reported,” commented another.

“That poor train driver probably had a stroke trying to slow down too,” another suggested.
