Reynolds, IN : Several people was injured in semi truck crash on Tuesday October 28th 2014.
A Chicago-bound Amtrak train collided with a semi-truck Tuesday morning in northwestern Indiana, injuring several people, after a truck driver who believed he had enough time to clear the tracks pulled into the train's path, police said.
Fourteen passengers and crew members complained of pain after the collision and eight were taken to local hospitals for evaluation, although none suffered serious injuries, said Chief Deputy A.J. Alletto of the White County Sheriff's Department.
Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari says everyone who was injured either was released at the scene of the crash or treated and released at hospitals.
Alletto said 55-year-old Jeffrey B. Hatfield of Bedford, Indiana, miscalculated when he pulled onto CSX tracks into the path of the Indianapolis-to-Chicago Hoosier State line.
