A truck driver is lucky to be alive after escaping a tractor trailer's cab moments before a train slammed into it.

The wild video was captured Tuesday off Allatoona Road near Interstate 75 exit 283 in Bartow County, outside of Atlanta, local TV station WSB reports. 

Georgia man Zack Hatcher was behind the semi that got stalled on the train tracks, and he began recording. The train's horns can be heard while the crossing lights flash and bells sound. The train's front lights approach before the loud impact can be heard.

"The f---ing train just hit this truck," Hatcher can be heard saying in the video before asking the truck driver, "You alright, man?"

The truck's load can be seen scattered across the area while the train sits still on the tracks following the crash. 

"The engineer and conductor both stated that they could see the truck stopped on the tracks. They started breaking as soon as they saw the truck, but they were not able to stop in time," City of Emerson Police Department Capt. Lisa Fuller told ABC News.

Authorities say Tuesday's incident is the eighth documented one at the same train crossing since 2017, and other trucks stalled there due to the turning radius near the tracks. Thankfully, no one was injured in this latest one caught on camera.

"There's been incidents before where the drivers weren't able to get out of the vehicles," Fuller said. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the Bartow County Sheriff's Office for more information on the incident.  

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich – detained in Moscow’s notorious Lefortovo Prison for nearly 15 months on dubious spying charges – will stand trial, Russian authorities said Thursday.

An indictment of Gershkovich has been finalized, according to Russia’s Prosecutor General’s office, who accused the journalist of "gathering secret information" for the CIA about a facility that produced and repaired military equipment. This is the first time the details of the accusations against Gershkovich have been revealed. 

The 32-year-old has been detained in Russia since March 29, 2023, on previously vague espionage allegations that the U.S. government and the Wall Street Journal have called absurd. The U.S. has declared him wrongfully detained and repeatedly called for his immediate release.

The Associated Press noted that Russian "officials didn’t provide any evidence to back up the accusations" made against Gershkovich. 

Gershkovich will stand trial in the city of Yekaterinburg, where he was arrested last year during a reporting trip. The start date is unclear, and he faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy called the charges against him "fiction."

The Wall Street Journal did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 

Gershkovich, the American-born son of Soviet immigrants, was accredited by Russia's Foreign Ministry to report in the country at the time of his arrest.

The Wall Street Journal has arranged numerous events to keep Gershkovich in the public consciousness, with runs, social media storms, Read-A-Thons, a recent BBQ, and various other efforts. Friends, family and admirers have been able to exchange letters with him, though they are screened by Russian authorities.

Gershkovich is the first American journalist to be arrested on spying allegations since the Cold War, underscoring the rock-bottom relations between the U.S. and Russia. In the past year, Gershkovich has been on the cover of TIME Magazine and mentioned in the State of the Union address by President Biden. 

Biden has personally called repeatedly for Gershkovich's release to no avail, and the journalist has continually lost appeals to end his pretrial detention. Former President Trump said earlier this year that the reporter would be freed after he was elected again.

Experts and people familiar with the case have told Fox News Digital that likely the best hope of freedom for Gershkovich — and fellow American held in Russia Paul Whelan — a high-profile prisoner swap.
