Early Wednesday afternoon, a train cut a tractor-trailer hauling peanuts in half just off Highway 32 West in Douglas.

The driver of the truck, a Kenworth T-800 owned by Southern Ag of Albany, was leaving Premium Peanut and attempted to cross the railroad tracks at a small crossing on the back of Evans Trailer Park. The trailer’s landing gear hung on the tracks, stalling the truck. The driver jumped out of the cab and called 911 hoping the agency could place a call to the railroad to stop any train that might be heading for that crossing.

There was a train on the way but there was no way to stop it in time. The train struck the trailer and ripped it in two, knocking the truck from the tracks and into a nearby ditch.

The driver, whose name has not been released, was unhurt. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
