Here's What Happens When a Speeding Train Crashes Into a Truck Filled With Furniture (Video)

BOOM!

Need another reason to make sure that you always obey railroad crossing signs? Just watch the video above.

Earlier this week, a Cobb County, Ga. man was hauling a bunch of furniture in a trailer attached to his Ford F-350 when he came to a railroad crossing. A train was approaching, but he thought that he could haul ass and make it through the crossing before the train made its way there. He thought wrong, though, and before long, the train was barreling down on him and his trailer was stuck on the train's tracks. And, well, let's just say that he's going to need to go out and buy a bunch of new furniture now.

Both the train and the trailer sustained heavy damage in the crash. And the driver of the truck was handed a ticket for failure to obey railroad grade crossing. Check out the clip above to see the train make impact with the trailer. R.I.P. to all of that poor furniture.
