El Paso, Texas, Video captured just after 4 p.m. on August 12 near Davenport Road and Roseway Drive in El Paso shows a car hauler loaded up with a single Prius is on the railroad tracks when a Union Pacific train comes barreling through, sending the car flying off of the truck.

There is currently no official word on why the crash occurred or whether anyone was hurt.

Not a single car. there's also a white car in the front. anyone else thinks this might be a case to get insurance claims? why is that trailer sitting in the middle of the tracks?

They are generally less that 6" off the ground and get high-centered very easily. Once they're stuck you're fighting two immovable objects. Until a train coming along and moves the one with least resistance.
