On June 17, 2003, in Hammond Louisiana, a log truck stopped for a traffic light and was not clear of the train tracks.
The train hit the end of the logs flipping the trailer over on top of a Ford Explorer. The driver was alone in the vehicle.
Fire units arrived on the scene at 1513. The victim was removed from the vehicle at 1545. Units used fire trucks and a back hoe to drag the logs off the car. The last two logs had to be cut into smaller pieces to remove them.
The patient was transported to North Oaks Hospital, where she was treated and released.
