Semi hit by train near Saskatoon

Train cars carrying grain derailed in Saskatoon, near 11th Street West, Friday evening.

The driver of a semi-trailer escaped injury after a train hauling 26 cars filled with grain collided with the rig just outside Saskatoon.

RCMP say the crash happened at a rail crossing near Highway 16, about eight kilometres southeast of the city, Wednesday morning.

The train pushed the semi-truck and trailer down the tracks, causing damage to both the engine and the rig. No one was hurt.

The collision caused the train to slightly derail. Mounties say it will take crews some time to clear the track.
