An OSHP preliminary investigation revealed that a Norfolk Southern train with 88 containers attached was going northeast on the railroad tracks parallel to SR-159. That’s when a 1989 Mack truck crossed the tracks westbound when it failed to yield to the train, OSHP told WBNS.
The truck got hit, overturned, and came to a stop between two sets of tracks.
OSHP said the train stopped about a mile later.
Medics flew the truck driver to the hospital with serious injuries.
No Norfolk Southern crews were hurt, OSHP said.
