KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Three people were injured when a train collided with a tractor-trailer in Belton on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The crash happened about 4 p.m. at the intersection of E. 187th Street and Holmes Road.
Investigation of the incident found the tractor-trailer became centered and stalled on the tracks, per MSHP.
The train hit the semi but was not knocked off its tracks. The tractor-trailer came to a rest on the east side of the railroad while a unit it was towing stopped on the west side.
Three occupants of the semi, which MSHP said contained six individuals, were transported to an area hospital.
The injured parties, all from Minneapolis, include an 8-year-old boy, 12-year-old boy and 40-year-old woman.
Editor's Note: The original story stated six parties were injured, as reported by the Cass County Sheriff's Office. However, MSHP clarified Wednesday six parties were involved but only three were injured.
