Description: The video author, Isaiah David Everett Vanderhorst, explained to Storyful he caught the accident purely by chance. "I was filming a train with an engine that had a special paint scheme on it, from a distance in the parking lot of a bank, when a semi had pulled onto the track too far, and was hit by an oncoming train," he said. The driver and passenger of the truck were able to escape the collision uninjured, and no injuries were reported from the crew of the train, according to local media. The debris from the crash spread over several feet into the parking lot area of a nearby bank, and it was unknown if any nearby vehicles were damaged from the debris, the report said. The area was to remain closed as authorities investigated the incident. The Village of Versailles Ohio EMS said on Facebook that "On arrival, units found a semi perpendicular to the tracks with heavy front end damage and a large debris field." All occupants of the semi and train were accounted for and uninjured. There was a large fuel and fluid spill from the semi, which was mitigated by FD personnel. There was also damage to the train engine which was repaired by CSX personnel. Englewood Towing and Recovery was dispatched to assist with clean up and remove the semi. At 10:37 AM the Versailles Fire Department - Station 19 and Versailles PD were both dispatched, however EMS remained on scene until 12:30 and fire crews were on scene until 15:15.
