It’s pretty rare that spot news happens so close to a newsroom, but that’s exactly what happened today. A hauling truck got smacked in the rear by a slow moving train on East Bay st., one block from the newsroom. The train operators were tight lipped and the truck driver was being checked out in an ambulance. From what I could tell, it looked like the truck made a run for it, trying to beat the train across the intersection. Trains are a common sight around here and are usually more than vocal about their presence. The driver wasn’t hurt and I overheard a paramedic say they weren’t even going to transport him. Here’s some shots.
