BRUCE — A Warden man was transported to an out-of-area hospital after the tractor-trailer he was driving was hit by a train near Bruce at about noon Tuesday. 

"The extent of the driver's injuries is not known at this time," wrote Adams County Sheriff Dale Wagner in a media release. 

"Preliminary information indicates the semi-truck was traveling above the speed limit and failed to obey posted requiring traffic to yield at the railroad crossing. The train was traveling at a slow speed," Wagner said.

"He was moving. He wasn't stuck on the tracks," he said in an earlier interview. 

The case is still under investigation, but as of Wednesday no criminal charges are pending, he said. 

"Investigators have not identified suspected criminal conduct," he said. 

An ACSO collision technician and a commercial vehicle inspector from the Washington State Patrol investigated the scene; the ACSO will be the lead investigating agency, he said. 

Wagner expressed gratitude to emergency personnel, local agencies that assisted at the crash scene and the county's emergency communications personnel. 

"Our dispatchers play a vital role in getting help to the scene and ensuring responders have the information and resources they need," he said.
