Here in Australia we like to complain about the state of our public transport, whether it's a train running late, a bus flashing past even though we flagged it down or simply getting on a crowded carriage

Whatever your complaint, times it by 1000, and you'll probably get the level of anger, confusion and fear that these commuters felt as their train ploughed though a truck in the US state of Utah.

According to The Utah Transit Authority snowy conditions was the culprit behind the accident, as they found the crossing gates up and no warning lights flashing when the truck attempted to cross the tracks.

Luckily no one was hurt but the US Department of Transportation did note that accidents surrounding trains and rail roads occur, on average, every two weeks.
