Fox 5 News Live. We're getting live chopper pictures
from Sky Fox 5, which is flying over
the scene right now of a train accident.
So you can see right now, it looks like our chopper
pilot is panning the camera around a little bit.
Just a moment ago, we were seeing a shot
of the actual train. There it is right there.
It looked like it crashed into
what appears to be a semi right there and sliced that trailer in half.
You can see the 18-wheeler
on the other side are the actual truck.
On the other side of the road. And then you see
that truck there kind of what it was hauling just split in two.
So this is happening near Veterans Memorial Highway
and Municipal Parkway. Traffic in both direction is shut down.
And that does appear to be an Amtrak train.
So likely passengers were on board this.
Just from me looking at the shot here, it does appear
that there is a railroad crossing arm. So that would have.
Theoretically gone down, so we don't know if maybe that didn't go down
when it was supposed to or if there may be a malfunction
or if the truck or the tractor trailer got stuck on the tracks.
We're obviously working to learn more
as soon as we get that information.
We will, of course, bring it to you here on Fox 5 and we'll have
the latest on Fox 5 News at noon in just a couple of minutes.
