The trooper was responding to a call about a car on the tracks early on Wednesday in Centerville, Utah, when he heard the train coming.

"I heard the horn from a train, I looked to my left and I was able to observe that train was coming pretty fast, anywhere between 50 and 80 miles an hour," Correa told ABC4. "At that point I was a little bit concerned about that ... At that point I wasn't really thinking, I was just doing my job and the main concern was getting him out.""He was in danger and I had to get him out of the vehicle as quickly as possible," he Correa said.

"I got worried after I saw the train hit the vehicle and the vehicle flew about 30 feet in front of us and that's when I realised 'Oh wow. That was a lot closer than what I would have liked'."Correa told ABC4 he had spoken to the young man afterwards. "I'm just very grateful that I was able to get him out and he's alive and he's back with his family now."
