Law enforcement and medical personnel were dispatched to an area east of Lecompton at 6:43 p.m. Sunday after a report that a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train clipped a vehicle near the intersection of North 2050 and East 795 roads.

A Perry man was westbound on North 2050 Road, also known as River Road, along the south side of the tracks in his 1998 Chevy truck when he lost control and left the roadway. The vehicle went off of the north side of 2050 Road, struck a road sign, entered a wooded area and ended up on the tracks, according to Sgt. Steve Buchholz of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department.

The driver, uninjured, exited the vehicle as his truck was resting on the tracks, facing west, on the south side of the BNSF tracks. The train then struck the passenger side of the truck.
