NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - One man was injured after a vehicle collided with a Brightline train in North Miami Beach, officials said.
The incident happened at Northeast 163rd Street and Biscayne Boulevard, at around 10 a.m. on Wednesday.
Dashcam video shared with 7News shows the front of the car driving onto the train tracks, even with the barriers being down.
The nose of the train narrowly misses the front of car, but not before clipping the rear of the vehicle and causing it to spin and come to a rest near a pole.
This is one of the recent incidents involving a Brightline train.
Officials said the terrifying crash serves as an example that cars can’t beat the train.
7Skyforce hovered above the scene as the driver of the vehicle stood on his feet and helped himself onto a stretcher.
Officials with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said a man was transported by ground to a trauma center for treatment.
Brightline reminded drivers to never drive around the lowered barriers when a train is on the way.
The roadway has since been reopened after officials cleaned up the debris left behind by the crash.
