New Video Emerges of Amazon Van Sliced by Amtrak Train

Overview

A shocking incident that took place in 2021 in Ixonia, Wisconsin, near Milwaukee, involved an Amtrak train colliding with an Amazon delivery van. The driver, Alexander Evans, miraculously survived with only minor injuries. Recently released video footage from inside the van’s cabin provides a firsthand look at the terrifying crash.

The Accident

The dashcam video reveals the road leading to the railway tracks, which lack signals, lights, or barriers. In the footage unearthed by TMZ, Evans can be seen glancing over his left shoulder but fails to notice the approaching train before crossing the tracks. He later disclosed to WISN that being deaf in his left ear contributed to not hearing the train’s horn until it was too late.

Despite his efforts to accelerate away from the oncoming train, only the front of the van cleared the tracks before impact. The collision with the train resulted in the van being torn apart, leaving Evans sitting just inches away from the passing train.

Survival and Aftermath

Reflecting on the crash, Evans described feeling airbags deploy and a sense of disbelief at his survival. Even as the train passed by in the video, his astonishment was evident. The footage captures a moment of sheer luck and resilience in the face of a life-threatening situation.
