MARSHALL COUNTY, Ala. – There are some traffic issues on Highway 227 in Guntersville. That’s the road that leads to Lake Guntersville State Park.

A train and a semi truck collided near the feed mills, a few miles from the park.

Crews are working to get the truck off the tracks. The road is closed for now.

No one was hurt.
Here's the crossing on street view:

Interestingly enough, the crossing is the only signalized one in that town. I need to get back down there and get some photos of it, along with some of the other crossbuck crossings in that town.
They/Them for me, please.
