Two people were killed when a train ploughed into a lorry that was driving over a level crossing.
Horrifying video footage shows the HGV slowly moving across the track in Requinoa, Chile, when suddenly the passenger train hits it at full speed and smashes the vehicle to smithereens.
Smoke can be seen rising from the train's engine, while the remains of the lorry lie scattered around the landscape.
René Eduardo Paz Ericez, who was driving the truck, was killed instantly along with Jaime Aliaga, who was one of the people at the controls of the train, which was headed for the country's capital, Santiago.
His colleague Patricio Salinas survived, albeit with serious injuries.
A statement on behalf of train operator Grupo EFE sent out their sympathies to the family of the deceased people.
