UNION TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A train and a vehicle collided in Lawrence County on Saturday.
Emergency crews were called to the train tracks at Covert Road in Union Township at 3:17 p.m., Lawrence County 911 dispatchers say.
A Channel 11 crew on scene saw a train stopped in the area and a vehicle that looked like its back end had been ripped off.
Citing Union Township Volunteer Fire Department Fire Chief Patrick Donofrio, NBC affiliate WFMJ reports that the vehicle’s brakes went out, and the driver was trying to back out of the oncoming train’s path. The vehicle then stalled on the tracks before the collision happened.
Two people in the vehicle had minor to moderate injuries and were taken to the hospital, Donofrio told WFMJ.
