The crash happened just before 5:00 a.m., on the railroad crossing on Old Mill Road near Wendover Street in Mad River Township, a spokesperson for the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.

The preliminary investigation revealed a Ford pick-up, driven by David A. Antonio, 30, of Springfield, was heading north on Old Mill Road. While negotiating the curve near the railroad crossing, the Ford lost control and became stuck on the railroad tracks.

Antonio got out of the vehicle before it was hit by an eastbound Norfolk Southern train. After striking the Ford, the train continued eastbound with the Ford on the tracks before coming to a stop approximately 2,400 feet from the railroad crossing.

No injuries were reported.

The crash remains under investigation at this time.
