A truck hauling two cars was hit by a CSX freight train in Rockland County on Tuesday.
Clarkstown police say the crash happened around 3:30 p.m. at a crossing on Pineview Road in West Nyack.
They say the car hauler had crossed over both sets of train tracks but that the driver said he needed to back up and placed the truck in park -- not realizing that the trailer was across both sets of tracks.
A CSX train struck the trailer, causing both cars on the hauler to dislodge.
No injuries were reported, and the train did not experience any significant delays.
