Yet Another EXPENSIVE Grade Crossing Accident
This one has happened just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, where an Amtrak train hit a truck carrying some new cars.
News reports don’t say which train it was, but the accident occurred at 5:30 p.m. so I’d guess was the Piedmont which runs between Charlotte and Raleigh.
The truck driver was unhurt and there were minor injuries to a few of the 104 passengers. And — oh, yeah — I’d guess the local Mercedes dealer is pretty upset, too.
