A light rail train in Mesa, Arizona, took a turn for the worse when it careened through a red light and collided with a large truck, local police confirmed. The incident, captured on surveillance video released by the Mesa Police Department, took place near the intersection of Robson and Main Street earlier this month. According to the footage, the train's failure to stop at the traffic signal led to its derailment and left the train operator with minor injuries.
Riding on the rails meant for smooth commutes, the train instead brought a moment of chaos, as seen in the video provided by ABC15. Fortunately, despite the unexpected turn of events, the crash did not result in any injuries to the passengers aboard the train, and the truck driver also walked away unscathed from the crash site.
As the investigation by the Mesa Police Department into the crash continues, details of the incident have trickled out, including the minor injuries sustained by the train operator, who was subsequently taken to the hospital as a precaution, according to ABC15.
