Police first received communication about the crash around 6:45 a.m. and dispatched mutual aid to the scene.

Amazingly, both the train conductor and truck driver survived the crash without major injuries, local news KXXV reported. Additional injuries appear non-existent, although multiple ambulances were dispatched to the scene.

The fire is too hot right now so officials are letting it burn a little. All homes in the vicinity have been evacuated.

Approximately 13 to 15 train cars involved in the crash were carrying coal, fuel and rock.
