(KMZA)--No injuries were reported after a train struck a semi-truck in Seneca Tuesday morning.
The accident was reported shortly before 9:30 on 6th Street, just south of Main Street.
Seneca Police say the accident occurred as the semi driver was backing their grain trailer into a loading bay at Fairview Mills, on the south side of the railroad tracks between 6th and 7th Streets. As the driver was backing the trailer, the front right side of the truck swung over the tracks and was struck by a passing train. The train took the semi's front grill guard and fender.
The accident forced the closure of a portion U.S. 36 on the east edge of Seneca for a period of time as the stopped train blocked the crossing on the highway. The highway was re-opened Tuesday afternoon.
