BRYAN COUNTY, Okla. -- It was a close call for a Bryan County man Tuesday afternoon when his car crashed into a train.

It happened at a BNSF rail crossing on Correll Road, northwest of Colbert.

State troopers say the man did not hear the train coming and collided with the engine. He was not injured, but his car was badly damaged.

Troopers say if he had been any closer to the train, it could have been much worse.

"I spoke to the driver, and he is familiar with this area and travels through here frequently. He looked for the train but didn't see it and did not hear the horn, but the horn was activated. So the best message is stop, look, listen and live," Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Steve Nabors said.

The train was not damaged in the accident.
