Crash involving Amtrak train in Lakeland
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a crash involving an Amtrak train and a semi-truck with a car-hauler, which occurred Friday evening, July 14, 2023, in Lakeland—there were no serious injuries.
At about 7:06 pm, deputies were dispatched to the scene, along with Lakeland Police Department and Lakeland Fire Department.
The crash occurred on North Canal Avenue, just south of US 92 (E. Memorial Boulevard). This has and could continue to interfere with traffic on eastbound US 92 until clean up is complete.
The Amtrak train was traveling from Miami to New York, and had been traveling east after a stop in Tampa. There were 163 passengers on the train and a crew of 10. Two men were in the semi-truck. Seven passengers were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
A fuel leak from the train engine is also being tended to.
More information is expected to be released sometime on Saturday.
