A freight train in Arizona collided with a car that was being towed across the train tracks, causing the vehicle to be dragged several feet.

Just across the tracks, the RV was said to have been waiting at a light. 

Before the train hits the car, McDermaid and his passengers can be heard going ‘uh’ and screaming ‘no’ as it draws closer. 

And upon collision, the car erupts into ‘woohoos’ and laughter at the sight they just witness.
