An Amtrak conductor was injured Tuesday morning when his passenger train collided with a semitrailer northeast of Denver, according to Colorado State Patrol.
Amtrak Train 5 was traveling Tuesday from Chicago to the San Francisco Bay area when it hit the semitrailer east of Denver at about 6:30 a.m., spokesperson Marc Magliari said.
The crash happened on an Interstate 76 frontage road near Roggen in Weld County, Colorado State Patrol spokesperson Gabriel Moltrer said.
None of the 174 passengers on board was injured, Magliari said.
Moltrer said one of the train conductors, a 40-year-old Denver man, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Paramedics took the second conductor, a 33-year-old Denver man, to the hospital for evaluation with no injuries, Moltrer said.
The semitrailer driver failed to stop at a posted sign at the railroad crossing, Moltrer said. The train then collided with the trailer, separating it from the cab, breaking it into multiple parts and rolling it.
Moltrer said the semitrailer driver, a 64-year-old Brighton man, was not injured in the crash. Potential charges are still being discussed, he said.
The train continued west after a 3 1/2 hour delay, Magliari said.
