Crossing lights flash as a silver tanker truck sits across the tracks. A bystander runs away, then a BNSF freight train reaches the crossing and strikes the trailer, throwing up dust and debris.
FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth's Short, "Train collides with tanker truck in Fort Worth", drew roughly 130,000 views in its first day, about twenty times the station's usual first-day audience for Shorts. The comment section was also much busier than usual, with viewers asking about the people visible near the collision.
The clip pairs dashcam footage credited to David Basurto with aftermath footage credited to Brad Farmer. After the impact, it cuts to stopped train cars and crushed metal lying beside the tracks, where emergency responders and onlookers have gathered. There is no spoken narration: the sequence moves directly from the truck at the crossing to the wreckage left behind.
A city in Texas and the second-largest city in the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area.
