According to Indiana State Police, the accident occurred  when the semi-trailer collided with the rear of another vehicle that was stopped in traffic.

As the Amtrak passenger train went through a crossing in Nevada on June 24, 2011, a semi-tractor trailer truck crashed through it, causing the train to catch fire and leaving six people dead.

The California Zephyr train left Chicago and was headed to California at the time of the accident. It is unknown as to why the driver did not see the train earlier as there was flashing lights that could be seen at least a quarter mile away. There were 200 hundred passengers on the train and 14 crewmembers. The driver of the truck, the conductor and four others lost their lives in the accident.
