Amtrak, truck collision leaves two hurt in Fauquier County

FAUQUIER COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) is investigating after an Amtrak train and a pick-up truck collided near Catlett on Tuesday.

Officials said the crash happened just before 12:30 p.m. when a Ford F350 crossed a railroad track in front of the passenger train. The impact caused the truck to tear into three large pieces, leaving debris along the tracks.

The train came to a stop about 1,700 feet down the track.

Two women who were inside the truck were able to get out after the collision, sustaining non-life-threatening injuries.

No one on the train was hurt, FCSO noted.

At the time, the Amtrak Crescent was traveling from Culpeper and was headed to Manassas.
