A BNSF train collided with a Wilmington Township Highway Department Truck that was spreading salt on icy roads during the winter storm Saturday afternoon.

The driver of the Truck suffered cracked ribs, sheriff’s police said. His name was not available.

The accident occurred at about 3:45 p.m. on Cooper Road. The train got to Coal City before stopping and was still there after 9 p.m. for an investigation into the accident. A salt spreader from the truck was still attached to the train when it stopped.

Sheriff’s police said the highway commissioner from Wilmington Township removed the truck from the scene of the accident before they got there to investigate the accident.
