The crash occurred about 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 6, near Lohman Avenue and Amador Avenue. After the collision, the BNSF train came to a stop on the tracks and remained there for several hours as police conducted their investigation.
The train stoppage blocked railroad crossings for several hours between Amador Avenue and Avenida de Mesilla. All crossing were reopened Sunday evening once the BNSF train continued north.
