Truck hit by train carrying GOP lawmakers was in crossing after warning, NTSB says
The train carrying members of Congress to a Republican retreat in West Virginia last month struck a garbage truck that had entered a railroad crossing after safety gates had come down, according to a new report released Wednesday.
The National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report that witnesses told investigators the truck drove onto the crossing after the warning gates had lowered.
The train, which was operated by Amtrak, also had a forward-facing camera, which showed as the crossing came into view, “the gates were down and the refuse truck was on the grade crossing.”
