According to report, the collision occurred shortly after 8:30 a.m. at Southeast 29th Street and South Shields Boulevard when the truck went around the barrier.

Multiple people were inside of the truck, one person suffered minor injuries.
The Flyer must have suffered minimal damage, because it was only 56 minutes late into Norman and 50 minutes late into Purcell and Pauls Valley. It departed OKC on time at 8:27 a.m.For your dose of local police and media incompetency with Amtrak:

Officials said the train belongs to the BSNF Railway Company, it is the same company involved in the train incident earlier Sunday, when a man’s foot was severed by a train after getting caught in the tracks.
Lots of train drama this morning in the Sooner state metropolis. “OCPD: Man Loses Foot in Downtown OKC Train Accident”: http://www.news9.com/story/39054236/ocpd-man-loses-foot-in-downtown-okc-train-accident
