Man run over by TRAIN after falling asleep on tracks - and survives

It is not yet known if the unnamed driver, will face charges, 

It comes after a freight train dramatically smashed into a truck in Germany.

The driver had mere seconds to escape before his vehicle was destroyed at the train crossing.

The horror smash occurred at a railroad crossing in Goose Creek, in South Carolina, US.

Debris could be seen flying into the air as the train collided with the 18-wheeled tractor-trailer as it tried to cross the tracks.
