Driver Killed In Amtrak-Truck Crash


No One Aboard Train Seriously Injured



 

PLANT CITY, Fla. -- A truck driver was killed on Tuesday when an Amtrak
passenger train collided with his vehicle east of Tampa and then derailed,
authorities said. 

The crash marked the second time in as many days that a Miami-to-New York
Amtrak train collided with a vehicle in the Tampa area. Four people in a car
were killed on Monday when the driver ignored crossing barriers and drove
into the path of a train carrying 161 passengers in Lakeland. 

None of the 133 passengers and 12 crew members aboard the train in Tuesday's
3:15 p.m. crash was seriously injured, Amtrak spokeswoman Karina Romero
said. The train's engineer and five passengers were taken to a hospital for
treatment. The rest were evacuated to a nearby bowling alley. 

The name of the truck driver was not immediately released. The crash
occurred at a private, marked railroad crossing in an industrial area,
Amtrak said. Authorities said the truck was designed for hauling large trash
bins. 

Romero said the train's two locomotives and nine cars all derailed after the
collision but all remained upright. Fires ignited by spilled fuel were
quickly extinguished, authorities said.
