An Amtrak passenger train, traveling from Fort Worth to Oklahoma, also known as the Heartland Flyer, crashed into a stalled big rig truck that was loaded with cars.
It happened around 7:00 p.m., just north of the Red River, near Thackerville, Oklahoma. There were approximately 110 passengers and crew members on board.
Law enforcement warned the train operators about the stalled truck, but the train could not be stopped in time.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol said that four people from the train were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The truck driver and his dog made it out safely.
The National Transportation Safety Board will now be called to investigate the incident.
