AN Amazon driver came within an inch of death when a speeding train split his delivery truck in half.
The mind-blowing crash was caught on Alexander Evans’ dash cam as he was passing a railroad track in Ixonia, Wisconsin, about 42 miles west of Milwaukee, in November 2021.

TMZ got their hands on the shocking video this week that shows the driver’s stunning reaction as the back of his van is torn off.
Evans explained that he is deaf in his left ear and did not hear the train’s warning horn when it was approaching close to the truck, he told ABC affiliate WISN in Milwaukee in 2021.
The road parallels the train track before it reaches the crossing and Evans said his view of the tracks was limited.
It was an Amtrak train that sped past Evan’s Amazon truck and completely wrecked it.
The unbelievable footage shows the exact moment that the train smashed into the vehicle, triggering all the airbags to go off.
Debris is sent flying throughout the cab as Evans holds onto the steering wheel.
The back of the truck is then ripped from the front, leaving only open air behind Evans as objects hurtle passed him.
After the train passed, Evans is seen in a state of shock and even shook his head.
He then scurried to get his phone to call for help.
“Yeah, it just, boom,” Evans told WISN.
“Literally, it was like one long beep, horn from the train, and I put my foot on the gas, kind of like trying.
“I don’t know how far I’m going to get away from him.”
Evans was able to move just far enough at the perfect time to avoid the train hitting his body inside the truck.
“I still can’t believe it myself, as well,” Evans said.
The life-defying crash left Evan’s body feeling sore but he had no reported injuries.
Evans is the father of two little girls and the crash also occurred on his 30th birthday, he told the outlet.
He said there were no signals, lights, or warning sounds aside from the train horn that indicated a train was approaching the crossing.
After his crash, he called for more precautionary measures to be put in place.
