UPDATE: 4 Injured In Collision Between Train, Semi
MURDOCK (AP) - Authorities say a collision between a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train and a semi carrying anhydrous ammonia injured four people, caused a small leak of the volatile chemical and evacuated a nearby elementary school in western Minnesota.
Swift County sheriff's officials the collision between the train engine and semi happened Tuesday about 8:30 a.m. west of Murdock on Highway 12. A chemical assessment team was called to secure a small leak of anhydrous ammonia.
