A level crossing, a disabled 18-wheeler, an oncoming freight train and a couple filming it in their car nearby.
It looks and sounds like a scene from a Hollywood disaster film, but fortunately no one was seriously hurt in this incident.
An American couple filmed the collision in Mer Rouge, Louisiana, on Sunday.
Local media said two engines from the 87-carriage train, which was transporting pressurised gas, derailed.
The truck driver had already escaped when his vehicle got stuck on the tracks, while the train conductor was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
