An Amtrak train carrying 68 passengers and eight crew members collided with a tractor-trailer in Sharon late Monday morning, police and railroad company officials said.
No injuries were reported in the collision on Quarry Road, near Route 14, police said in a press release.
The southbound Vermonter train struck the vehicle’s flatbed trailer, which was carrying a load of stone from a nearby quarry, at about 11:45 a.m., according to officials.
Police identified the truck’s driver as Michael Delaney, a 62-year-old from Leicester, Massachusetts whom officials said was affiliated with the company Lajoie Brothers Transport of nearby Charlton, Massachusetts.
Lajoie Brothers could not immediately be reached for comment Monday afternoon.
The Vermonter runs between St. Albans and Washington, D.C. The train was back on the move just before 2:30 p.m., Amtrak said on Twitter, but continued only as far south as White River Junction, its next stop after Sharon.
From there, passengers could take a bus to Springfield, Massachusetts, then catch another train to continue south toward Washington, D.C., Amtrak officials said.
The collision also appeared to impact Amtrak’s northbound Vermonter service Monday. That train was set to run only as far as Springfield, Massachusetts, where passengers would then be provided “alternate transportation” up to St. Albans, officials said.
The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles Enforcement and Safety Division was leading the crash investigation Monday afternoon, state police said.
A spokesperson for the state Agency of Transportation, which oversees the DMV, deferred questions to Amtrak.
Correction: Due to incorrect information from Vermont State Police, an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the breakdown of passengers and crew on the train.
