SAN ANTONIO - A man test-driving a pickup truck was clipped by a train. The accident happened at 8:50 p.m. at Ruiz and North San Marcos on the West Side.

Police said the owner of the pickup met a man interested in buying it at the tracks. The owner told police that the test driver saw the crossing arm dropping, but thought he could beat it.

When the train clipped the truck, the man test driving it panicked and took off running.

Guess he didn't want the vehicle, or was he just testing it out to see how well the response time is when he guns the gas??? Hmm, either way I want to know what dealership that one was just so I can go test drive too and play chicken with a train!!! =)
