Two adults and a child had a miraculous escape after their car was hit by a freight train on a railway crossing.

Video shows the moment two women and a young girl dash from the dark red SUV seconds before it is written off.

Local police confirmed that nobody was injured in the crash on the crossing in Forney, Texas.

Forney Police Department said in a statement: "At approximately 4:35 P.M., a vehicle was struck by a train in downtown Forney.

"The train is blocking the downtown crossings, however the 548 crossing is open.

"No one was harmed in the accident.

"We do not have a timeline on when the crossings will be cleared but will update as soon as possible."
