THIS is the dramatic moment a driver was hit by a speeding train – only to miraculously survive the terrifying smash.
The bread truck had driven through a level crossing despite the barriers being down and warning lights flashing.
But the driver failed to see the train hurtling towards him as he slowly made his away across the tracks in Turkey.
Nail-biting footage then shows the train smashing into him before dragging the truck for at least 500m.
Incredibly, the driver – named as Ugur Cankaya – wasn’t killed in the horror smash yesterday in Afyon.
He was rushed to hospital with injuries and there has been no update from local police.
The accident forced the Konya-Afyonkarahisar line to shut down services for about two hours.
He isn’t the only driver to have a lucky escape with a speeding train.
Fortunately the car was pushed to the side of the tracks by the train which spared it being crushed.
