Swalwell residents evacuating following trailer, train collision

Swalwell residents are evacuating after a semi-truck hauling propane struck a train within the hamlet early this afternoon.

At 2:47 p.m. the call was put in and Three Hills RCMP and Fire emergency services responded.

Firefighters have been approaching each home to alert them of the evacuation as the truck has been leaking fluid.

There are no dangerous goods on the train.

Range Road 302 is closed to traffic for the time being.

No injuries have been reported.

CP Rail will be investigating further into the incident.
