According to emergency workers, the driver of the truck was waiting for a northbound train to pass the White Horn crossing, on Guthrie Gap Road. The crossing has a double section of track and after the northbound train cleared the crossing the driver reportedly pulled into the path of the southbound train. The female drive was the lone occupant of the vehicle, which was knocked off the roadway and down an embankment. Although an ambulance responded to the scene, the woman was transported to the hospital in a private vehicle.
