WAUKESHA COUNTY, WI -- The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office is asking members of the public to steer clear of the area around Main St. and Summit Ave. in Oconomowoc after a semi truck collided with a train Friday morning.
According to sheriff's officials, a flatbed semi truck was driving south on Main St. and was trying to turn onto Second St. when it got hung up on a median. An oncoming train collided with the semi, effectively splitting it in half.
Police said the driver of the semi survived the crash, and was transported to a nearby hospital with only minor injuries.
