VENTURA, Calif. (AP) -- A car-carrier loaded with vintage Porsches was struck by a freight train Sunday after becoming stranded on railroad tracks, officials said.

The accident occurred about 3:45 p.m. near the Ventura County Fairgrounds, said Lt. David Wilson of the Ventura Police Department, who was at the scene.

The car-carrier was "high-centered" on the railroad tracks and the driver was trying to maneuver it off the tracks when Wilson arrived.

Wilson said he called to have train traffic stopped, but a northbound freight train came barreling down the track only moments later.

"We were able to get the driver out of the cab, luckily," Wilson said.

The driver suffered minor injuries while fleeing from the impact, Wilson said.

The vintage Porsches "are close to totaled, if not totaled," Wilson said.

"The train center-punched the trailer carrying the cars and split the trailer in half, and the cars went flying," he said.

sniff... it's so sad when the pretty ones die. Even if some of those were repairable it wouldn't be legal to do it. Once a car is in a train accident it sits in a "grave yard" till it is scrapped even if it only has minor damage.

"Dave, what the fuck man? Why did we stop?"
"I dunno, the fucking thing just gave out...."
"Better have a look under the hood."
"Hey what the fuck is all that rumbling?"
