No injuries reported after pickup truck hit by train in Stonington

STONINGTON, Conn. (WTNH) — Amtrak representatives say no injuries were reported after a train crashed into a pickup truck Friday morning.

Stonington police said they were dispatched at 8:24 a.m. to the area of 54 Island Rd., a railroad crossing at a private dock called Walker’s Dock.

Police said a truck was waiting at the railroad crossing gate when the arm went up, they pulled forward, and the arm went back down- which is when the truck was hit by another incoming train.

Police said the driver was able to get out of the vehicle in time, and no injuries were reported- either from the vehicle or the train.

The train- Amtrak 66- was headed to Boston from Roanoke.

Around 9 a.m., Amtrak Northeast officials announced all services traveling between New London (NLC) and Kingston (KIN) will be delayed or completely stopped.

Service was restored by 10:30 a.m. but residual delays were anticipated.
