WRECK BLOCKS

US 84

An accident shortly after lunch time on Thursday created a two or three day problem for railroad and highway crews when the concrete support of the railroad crossing of Highway 84 west of Teague was knocked down in a two-vehicle crash.

What might have resulted in serious injuries for the drivers left both relatively unharmed.

A work crane was being moved to the site by Burlington-Northern Railway Company and, according to reports, the highway would remain closed until repairs could be completed.
