Driver missing after truck hits train in Washington

STANWOOD, WA Snohomish County sheriff's Lt. John Flood told The Daily Herald he hasn't seen a case like it in 20 years.

Railroad workers and emergency responders searched the tracks and dug through the mangled wreckage after the crash early Thursday.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe spokesman Gus Melonas says the 43-car train was traveling about 25 mph when the truck hit a rail car from the rear.

The train dragged the truck for half a mile. An empty tank car derailed.
