Somerset County, PA : One injured in train vs truck crash in Paint Township on Wednesday, 23rd August 2023
Officials say a CSX train collided with a dump truck at a railroad crossing in Paint Township Wednesday morning.
Authorities say the triaxle truck attempted to cross the railroad trucks before it was struck by the train around 10:30 a.m.
“The CSX locomotive was sounding its horns and they had visual warnings on, and the construction vehicle, for whatever reason, wasn't able to stop and yield to the locomotive,” said David Boyer, the Scalp Level assistant fire chief.
Fire crews say the train pushed the truck out of the way during the collision.
