An Amtrak train crashed into a truck carrying milk at a northeastern
Colorado rail crossing, badly injuring the engineer and sending three passengers to a hospital for treatment, authorities said.
The truck driver, a 31-year-old man from Fort Wainright,
Alaska, drove through the crossing, which has a stop sign, and did not yield to the approaching Amtrak train on Monday night, Colorado State Patrol spokesperson Sgt. Troy Kessler said Tuesday. Neither he nor a male passenger were injured, he said.
The engineer, a 42-year-old man from Park City,
Utah, was airlifted to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.
