Elk Mound, TX — December 12, 2023, one person was injured in a truck train accident at approximately 12:40 in the afternoon along Stardust Drive.
According to authorities, an 18-wheeler was traveling eastbound on U.S. Highway 12 approaching a left turn onto northbound Stardust Drive when the accident took place.
For reasons which are unclear, the 18-wheeler made the turn but stopped the vehicle an unsafe distance from an active railway. A westbound train reportedly struck the 18-wheeler, which caused it to overturn, spilling the corn grain it had been hauling. The 37-year-old driver of the 18-wheeler reportedly sustained injuries as a result of the accident; they were transported to a local medical facility by emergency medical services in order to receive treatment.
The accident is under investigation by local authorities. The weather and road conditions in the area at the time were not specifically reported on; however, a photograph of the scene which has been published in the news depicts apparently clear skies and dry roads. Additional details—including the identity of the victim—are not available at this point in time.
