BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — At least one person was injured Wednesday when a train collided with two tractor-trailers at a Baltimore County crossing, authorities said.

The Baltimore County Fire Department said crews were called to the 7500 block of Lake Drive after a CSX train hit the tractor-trailers. The driver of one of the trucks was taken to the hospital with injuries, officials said.
