Tractor Trailer Clipped at Train Crossing in Clarke County

A midday collision between a southbound Norfolk Southern freight train and Conway Freight tractor trailer closed Main Street for two hours on Wednesday. There were no reported injuries and Main Street was reopened at approximately 2:30pm EST.

At around noon the Conway Freight driver was attempting to back an approximately 40-foot trainer up to a building loading dock near the intersection of Main Street and the railroad. When the driver encountered difficulty negotiating the narrow service road that parallels the tracks his truck cab was temporarily positioned over the tracks.
