DETROIT -- Three people were injured when a train and a tractor-trailer collided in southwest Detroit early Friday morning. The collision happened near Schaefer Highway and Greenfield Road near the Detroit and Melvindale border.The train had 35 cars attached behind it and was carrying more than 3,000 gallons of fuel. The crash destroyed the truck and caused the train to fall off the track and land on its side."He said that the truck driver ran right through the light and the rail and just ran into him," said the conductor's Tim William's wife, Noel.
The driver of the truck was taken to the hospital but was not seriously injured. Two of the train conductors were also taken to the hospital for precautionary measures."I'm just glad he's alive and he's going to be okay because looking at this, it could have been a lot worse," said Williams.
The truck driver, who is from Alco Steel, told police he did not see any warning lights from the train.Officials with the railroad said they believe the warning lights were working."Our train crew was interviewed and they said that the that the lights were working properly. We will run diagnostic tests on that device later today to confirm that,"said Rudy Husband, Norfolk and Southern Railroad Spokesman.

Henry Ford Retirement Village
Henry Ford Retirement Village is one of our favorite spots.....well all are our favorite spots.
We were invited back on April 18, 2010 and was it an enjoyment.
Villagers were bringing their Grandchildren and having the time of their lives. There were two boys who just could not get enough! I saw them when some of us were eating lunch and the little one, about 4, wanted to going back. Him and his brother were running around the trains trying to keep up with Bruce's BIG "O" gauge. I'm not condoning the running around, but it was cute.
Some of the villagers also told me how disappointed they were that we were not going to be there longer or another day. Sorry guys and I hope we will be there next year....or sooner.
Hope you enjoy the pictures and our next show, what we have scheduled, is their sister place. Fox Run Retirement Village in Novi on June 5th and 6th.
