A Chrysler Sebring has collided with a train on a dirt road about a half mile east of 12 Mile bridge, on the road to Cousin's Ranch, south of 67.
The Sebring hit on the driver's side fender and both airbags were deployed. Witnesses say that the impact spun the car around 180 degrees. The vehicle is facing south on the south side of the train tracks.
No major injuries have been reported. Residents in the area have come out to view the situation and are complaining that the trains frequently pass through at high speeds.
The railroad crossing is completely unmarked--there are no lights or signs. The train continued on for approximately 1/8 of a mile before stopping near the next crossing.
TXDPS, the San Angelo Fire Department and Tom Green County Sheriff's Office are working the scene.
Update: 10:15 p.m.
The driver of the Sebring is a male who works for Sotex, located south of the railroad tracks. The man was leaving work heading northbound when he got clipped by the train. He says he did not see the train coming.
