Train Hits Tractor-Trailer In Baltimore County: Firefighters

ROSEDALE, MD — A train hit a tractor-trailer trying to cross the tracks Tuesday in Rosedale, firefighters said.

Crews said the truck escaped with only minor damage. No injuries or hazards to the community were reported.

First responders said the collision happened around 8:30 a.m. at the intersection of 68th Street and Lake Drive. Firefighters had cleared the scene by 8:56 a.m.

68th Street crosses the tracks and leads to a few industrial buildings before coming to a dead end.

Google Maps imagery from July 2024 showed that the low-traffic intersection did not have a stop arm that would block traffic when trains pass. There is, however, a stop sign and another sign warning drivers to look both ways before crossing the tracks.

Security footage obtained by WMAR seems to show a tractor-trailer approaching the intersection and coming to a stop as a freight train cruises past. The collision is not visible.
