One person was taken to the hospital.
Brunswick, Md. (KM) – Emergency personnel from Frederick, Washington and Jefferson Counties were dispatched to the Brunswick MARC station at 201 Maple Avenue on Wednesday afternoon for a train accident.
Frederick County Fire and Rescue says a tractor trailer was stopped at the tracks at a railroad crossing near the station due to backed up traffic when an Amtrak train approached. The tractor trailer was struck by the train; and that pushed the big rig into a passenger truck and then that vehicle hit a building. . The driver of the passenger truck was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The 140 passengers on the Amtrak train, the driver of the tractor trailer and an occupant in the passenger truck refused treatment, fire officials say.
