Certainly dramatic video that tells the story, no doubt about that.
Just want to show you the
scene out here as they continue clean up.
PSE&G is out here working on some power lines. You have
the cranes back there trying to remove some of these rail cars.
The vehicles that are involved
are still on scene as well.
But let the video tell the story and take a look. You can see the
yellow garbage truck and the FedEx truck sitting on Doremus Avenue.
Waiting for the train to pass by when,
for some reason, the train leaves the tracks.
Two or three rail cars leaving the tracks hit
the rail sign stanchion, the one that has the lights flashing.
Then a utility pole is taken out and then crashing
into the garbage truck, the garbage truck then hitting the FedEx truck.
The two people in the garbage truck, the driver and the passenger,
both taken to the hospital. Minor injuries, according to Newark police.
Very fortunate. We're only telling you minor injuries in this incident.
Now take a look at this piece of video.
You can see the cab of that or the front of that garbage truck.
Kind of crunched in between the rail car and the FedEx truck.
So as we get more information on exactly how this played out and why,
we'll certainly have it for you.
That's the latest from Newark.
