Kentucky man killed after Mack truck is hit by a train, police say

A western Kentucky Man was killed Wednesday after his truck was hit by a train, according to Kentucky State Police.

State police responded to the incident just before 3 p.m. Wednesday. Police said Timothy Duvall, 33, entered a railroad crossing on State Quarry Road in the Cave City community and failed to see a CSX train that was heading through the railroad crossing. Duvall, of Leitchfield, was pronounced dead on the scene by the Barren County coroner.

Duvall was driving a 2014 Mack dump truck, according to state police.

Last month a train and vehicle collision in Floyd County sent one man to the hospital.
