Happened on 187th Street, just east of Rudee, close to Kansas City. Lucky break, no one got hurt in the crash. Troopers from the Missouri State Highway Patrol are on the scene, digging into what went down. The truck ended up high-centered across the rails around 9 a.m. and bam, the train couldn't stop in time. Trailer got severed clean off. Folks driving through there are feeling the pinch, since the streets shut down tight. No major chaos reported, but it's a headache for locals trying to get around that intersection. Crews are out there now, hustling to pull the trailer apart from the train and clear the mess. Highway Patrol says they're pushing hard to get 187th Street back open soon. Sounds like a close call that dodged disaster. Keep an eye on updates as they roll in from Cass County.
