Thousands of eggs were casualties when a Canadian Pacific Train collided with a semi around 8:15 a.m. Friday about 1 mile north of Barrett.
The north-bound train struck the egg-filled semi, driven by Timothy Joseph Nager, 28, Danvers, at the intersection of Grant County Road 21 and State Highway 55.
Nager crossed the train track from the south after turning off Highway 55 when the train struck the rear of the semi, tearing off the back portion, Grant County Sheriff Dwight Walvatne said. Debris was scattered throughout the intersection and down the tracks but no rail cars derailed. Neither Nager nor his passenger were hurt.
Traffic was rerouted off County Road 21 to allow for clean-up. Nager was cited for failure to stop.
Barrett and Elbow Lake fire departments, ELEAH Ambulance and Grant County Sheriff’s Department responded to the scene.
