“I didn’t see anything. He was on my left side,” Evans, who said at the time he is deaf in his left ear, told local media in 2021.
“Literally it was like one long beep, like a horn from the train, and I put my foot on the gas,” Evans said. “I was like, I don’t know how far I’m going to get away from him.”
Almost immediately after Evans made the turn, an Amtrak train slammed into Evans’ delivery van ripping it in two.
TMZ obtained footage of the moment of impact from inside of the vehicle.
Miraculously Evans said he only felt “air and the pressure” of the air bags upon impact.
