The crash took place near Round Rock, an area close to Austin. In an email statement, Amtrak mentioned the train was heading from San Antonio to Chicago when it “collided with a vehicle.”

A Union Pacific police officer informed affiliate KXAN that the accident occurred on Union Pacific property at a private crossing, and confirmed the death of one individual.

Amtrak reported that there were no initial injury reports among the 71 passengers and crew on the train. They stated their intention to cooperate with local law enforcement in investigating the incident.
