A car was struck by a train yesterday afternoon in Boaz. The driver was seriously injured. The accident happened near the intersection of Emory and Belair streets, just off Alabama 205 near downtown Boaz. A woman was extricated from a Lexus sedan and transported to Marshall Medical Center South. The crossing was marked by a crossbar sign on either side of the tracks and a stop sign mounted on a single, tall wooden post. The freight train is operated by Alabama Tennessee River Railway Company based in Gadsden. It was the second accident in less than a week involving the same rail company.
