MANTADOR, N.D. (AP) - Richland County authorities have responded to two collisions involving a train and a truck in as many days.
A Wheaton, Minnesota, man escaped injury Tuesday evening when the semitrailer he was driving was struck at a crossing just outside of Mantador.
Authorities say the man had stopped at a stop sign but didn’t notice the oncoming train and proceeded forward. The semitrailer was struck and destroyed. The train was damaged but still operational.
On Monday afternoon, a semitrailer stalled on the tracks near Fairmount, and the driver jumped out of the cab to safety as the train approached. That semitrailer also was destroyed. The train suffered damage but was able to continue on.
