State Patrol Looking Into Garbage Truck/Train Collision

The Wisconsin State Patrol continues to investigate the crash of a garbage truck and a freight train in northwest Wisconsin. Troopers say a Waste Management hauler apparently failed to yield to Canadian National train Tuesday morning on a town road near Weyerhaeuser in Rusk County. The garbage truck driver, 32-year-old Gerald Rodewald of Bruce and the train engineer, 47-year-old John Wickersham of Ladysmith were both taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Officials say the locomotive was off the tracks for a short time. The truck leaked fuel after the mishap, and the state D-N-R helped with the cleanup
