(KAIR)--No one was hurt, despite a vehicle being hit and dragged by a train Monday morning in Buchanan County, Missouri.
KQ2-TV reports the driver fell asleep, leading to the crash.
Citing Buchanan County Sheriff Bill Puett, the TV station reports the wreck happened after the vehicle crossed the intersection of U.S. Highway 59 and Highway 45, and onto the nearby railroad tracks.
Waking up, the driver tried to drive the vehicle off of the tracks to avoid an oncoming train but was not successful, causing the train to smash into the vehicle, which was then dragged northbound.
The car rolled over after the train came to a stop.
According to the report, the driver was able to walk away from the crash with no injuries.
