LAKE WORTH, Fla. (AP) _ Over 20 people were injured when a Tri-Rail train hit a garbage truck stuck on the tracks in Palm Beach County.
Capt. Albert Borroto of Palm Beach Fire Rescue tells The Palm Beach Post that none of the 22 victims were seriously injured in the crash Monday morning in Lake Worth.
The truck’s driver escaped the disabled vehicle just before crash.
Tri-Rail spokeswoman Bonnie Arnold says trains were being turned around in both directions from the crash site, and buses were shuttling passengers between Lake Worth and Boynton Beach.
Commuters were advised to seek alternate means of transportation.
Arnold says the crash caused significant damage to the tracks and signal system.
