A freight train struck an 18-wheeler at the intersection of Rust Street and Maspeth Avenue last night, causing significant traffic delays through the night and into the morning commute.
There were no injuries to report after the train allegedly stuck the tractor-trailer while going approximately 10 miles per hour (per ABC7).
Crews were still on the scene this morning, directing traffic and cleaning up debris from the incident.
