The crash occurred at the Route 31/Main Street crossing. The truck driver, Richard Lavander of Ontario, Canada, attempted to drive around the crossbuck that was down to warn of a nearby traveling train.

As the truck went around the crossbuck an eastbound CSX train struck the truck. The impact separated the truck and trailer, pushing the truck approximately one quarter of a mile east of the original impact.
