According to a press release from Florida Highway Patrol, a train hit the trailer of a log truck this afternoon.
At about 2:27 p.m., a log truck was stopped at a stop sign on SE 122nd Lane where it intersects U.S. 301, facing east. While the truck was stopped, a portion of the its load (logs) was partially obstructing a railroad track. A train with 160 cars, moving north, struck the truck’s load, causing the trailer to overturn. No injuries were reported, and the scene has been cleared.
Time for speed bumps for trains.
