Davis says he has been driving in metro Atlanta for over 20 years and this is the first time something like this has happened to him.
He said he was heading back to Interstate 20 and carrying a load of seven cars when his truck bottomed out and got stuck. He knew the train was coming and got out of his cab in time.
“Blessed,” he told Gehlbach.
