Woods said he was thinking of his four-year-old son when he pulled out his iPhone and started recording a passing freight train.<\/p>\n

“My son has a fascination with trains, so I went to take video of the train for him,” Wood said.<\/p>\n

But he never expected to see what happened next.<\/p>\n

“It was surreal,” he said. “It was like a scene out of a movie almost.”<\/p>\n

Wood, himself in shock, ran to the truck expecting both men in the truck to be dead.<\/p>\n

“He got out of the truck and I said, ‘Are you alright?’ And he said,<\/p>\n

‘Yeah, I’m fine,” and I said, ‘Dude, you are the luckiest man alive
\nright now,'” Wood said.<\/p>\n
