Collison between train and vehicle closes Tupelo railroad crossing

TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – A collision between a train and a vehicle closes a railroad crossing in Tupelo for part of the afternoon.

It was around 1:30 when a train and a vehicle collided at the crossing on West Elizabeth Street. No one was injured, and the wreck was cleared quickly.

However, the crossing was closed until a supervisor from the Kansas City Southern Railroad could make it to the scene.

Tupelo Police were on hand to make help re-route traffic. The Tupelo Fire Department also responded to the call. That investigation is ongoing and more details are expected to be released soon.
