Traffic and public safety implications
Incidents that involve a vehicle and a train at or near highway crossings often require extended lane or track closures for safety and evidence collection. That can create significant backups on both the interstate and surrounding surface streets.
Drivers in the vicinity should watch for emergency personnel and follow official traffic advisories. Local transit or rail operators may issue service notices if the collision disrupts tracks or signaling equipment.
More details, including any injuries and the cause of the crash, have not been released. Authorities say they will update the public as information becomes available.
