An MTA Metro-North commuter train slammed into a tractor-trailer at a railroad crossing in Sloatsburg, New York, on Tuesday, January 21.

Footage recorded by Chris Schucht, of Tuxedo, New York, shows the train striking the trailer at the intersection of Orange Turnpike and Washington Avenue. Another witness can be heard reacting as the incident unfolded: “Oh my goodness,” the man says, then, “oh boy .. Oh my God!”

According to a local ABC report, the trailer was cut in half, causing office supplies to spill all over the scene. All 75 passengers on the train were transferred to buses and no injuries were reported.

The cause of the crash was under investigation. Credit: Chris Schucht via Storyful
