A quick-thinking American police officer in Uttah pulled an unconscious driver out of the path of a train seconds before it smashed into man's vehicle, ABC News reports.

A dramatic dashcam video posted by the Utah Highway Patrol on their Twitter account Wednesday, showed Trooper Ruben Correa with his torch scrambling up an embankment in the dark as the train speeds towards a car packed on the tracks.

"It looks like the vehicle's on top of tracks," Correa said into his radio as he reached the car with the train bearing down on them, its headlight shinning.

"Let's go! Get out of here! We've got a train coming! We've got a train coming! We've got a train coming!," he yelled at the man as the train sounds its horn.

Correa pulled the man free just seconds before the train hits the car, and two rolled down the embankment. The train then stopped.

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."
