ONE HOSPITALIZED AFTER VEHICLE/TRAIN COLLISION NORTH OF BRENHAM

  

One person was flown to the hospital after a collision Thursday night between a truck and a train north of Brenham.

The Brenham Fire Department says it responded for mutual aid just after 10 p.m. to the 5100 block of Old Gay Hill Road for a vehicle versus train accident. 

Units made location and were advised by the Gay Hill Volunteer Fire Department on scene that the vehicle was down in a creek and ropes were needed.

Equipment was loaded onto the Brenham Fire Department’s command truck and driven through a pasture to the creek, where the vehicle was located.  Firefighters helped Washington County EMS with the patient and carried him out to the command truck. 

The patient was ultimately flown to a Houston-area hospital for treatment of unknown injuries.
