See more on this and a video at: http://www.whdh.com/story/25842346/amtrak-train-hits-car-and-derails-in-mansfieldMANSFIELD, Mass. (WHDH) - An Amtrak train headed from Washington, D.C. to Boston struck a truck on the tracks in Mansfield and partially derailed just before midnight Monday.
There were about 180 passengers on board the train. None were hurt. They were stranded for about four hours, until being loaded onto an MBTA train and transported to South Station.
The train's engineer was evaluated on scene for a possible head injury but he was not taken to the hospital.
Officials are not saying where the truck was on the tracks, how it gained access of if anyone was inside. They are calling this a large crime scene.
Service has been restored with delays and speed restriction this morning (6/23/14).
It is being treated as a crime scene since there is no grade crossing anywhere near where the ATV was left on the track.
