A northbound train running parallel to U.S. Highway 29 in north Coweta County clipped a tractor-trailer early Tuesday.
There were no injuries and the truck driver was able to return to the loading yard, said Georgia State Patrol Trooper Ross Buchan.
“He said he didn’t see the train,” Buchan said. “He was just leaving with a load. The train clipped the rear end of the trailer and tore off the doors and tailgate.”
Shrotshire was charged with failure to yield, the trooper added.
