An Amtrak train struck a semi-truck stuck on the train tracks at 29th Street NW and B Street NW in Auburn on Saturday morning, but no injuries were reported, officials said.
The incident occurred around 10:18 a.m. Saturday morning, when the semi made a wrong turn and became stuck on the train tracks.
Both the driver and a passenger in the truck were able to exit safely before the southbound train collided with the vehicle, officials said.
The train, carrying 157 passengers, sustained no reported injuries.
The collision caused a temporary closure of the southbound lane of B Street NW and delays of about 60 minutes for Amtrak trains operating between Seattle and Tacoma.
Local authorities and Amtrak crews are working to clear the scene and restore regular operations.
