A semi hauling an assortment of exotic cars was hit by a train yesterday afternoon in Texas.
According to The Leader, the semi got stuck while attempting to cross railroad tracks in Houston Heights. Sometime later, a train was using those same tracks and was unable to stop before hitting the semi’s trailer.
While the crash pushed the trailer a considerable distance, the impact doesn’t look severe as the trailer remained largely intact. Authorities also noted no one was injured in the incident.

That’s good news, but the trailer was loaded with expensive cars. Road & Track said they included a Ferrari SF90 Stradale and 488 Spyder as well as an older Porsche 911. Pictures taken by KHOU also show a Bentley was inside at the time of the collision.
There’s no word on what other vehicles were inside or where they were being transported, but it’s clear they were high-end automobiles. Their condition remains unknown, but photos suggest the Bentley took the brunt of the damage as we can see dented bodywork and a large gash where a metal tube sliced into the vehicle.
While a lot of questions remain, video from ABC 12 showed at least three flatbed trucks arriving on the scene to presumably pick up the vehicles.
