Seconds later, the suspect vehicle began driving and crashed into an oncoming train.

“I saw it on the bridge, then I heard him trying to take off, I heard the tires squealing. And then it kept going and then the train was coming, and I saw him hit the train and spun out,” Bond said.

Law enforcement got the suspect out of the truck before 7 p.m., firefighters on scene told News Center 7.
