No one was hurt when a CSX train ploughed into a camper in Sumter County Wednesday.
Sumter county Fire and EMS says the initial impact happened around 2:25 p.m. in Bushnell. The train came to a stop near Noble Avenue.
Florida Highway Patrol said the camper was a fifth wheel travel camper being towed by a 2015 Ford F-350. The camper had stopped on the tracks when the truck towing it stopped behind another vehicle.
The driver of the truck was cited for stopping on a railroad crossing.
Sumter County Fire and EMS says the following roads were closed at the railroad crossings because of the accident:
- Seminole Avenue
- Central Avenue
- U.S. 301
Because of this, traffic was heavier around town while crews cleared away the scene.
