If you’ve ever visited the HCC offices, you’ve seen the train tracks that run next to our facility. On Monday, Feb 6th, an 18 wheeler became trapped on those very tracks. The truck driver and a bystander tried several times to move the truck.
Their efforts were in vain, and unfortunately the truck was struck by an oncoming freight train. The 30 mph impact severed the tractor from its trailer and damaged at least one of the railroad tracks at the crossing. The truck driver was not hurt, but three crew members of the train were taken to the hospital for minor injuries.
Herbert employee, David Summey, was interviewed by a local news affiliate after the accident. David recalls several accidents at those tracks over the years.
It is incidences like these that make us realize all that we hold dear to us. While we are all focused on running a successful business, we at Herbert wanted to take a moment to wish you and yours health, happiness and above all, safety!
