The video shows the truck driver outside the vehicle and trying to signal the train with his arms, but the larger vehicle slams into the side of the semi.

The CSX train, which featured three locomotives and 162 freight cars, was heading from Atlanta to Tennessee at the time of the crash.

One person aboard the train was treated for minor injuries. No other injuries were reported, local authorities said.
