At least one person was killed and four others injured when an inbound Metra BNSF train traveling from Aurora to Chicago struck a semi-truck on the tracks at Prospect Avenue in Clarendon Hills Wednesday, according to Metra officials. All of the victims in the accident were on the train, officials said. Just before 9 a.m., Metra reported BNSF train 1242 “will terminate at Clarendon Hills due to striking a vehicle.” Delays are expected, and other inbound trains will accommodate passengers, Metra said in a tweet. The DuPage County Coroner was called to the scene, according to officials. Witnesses at the scene said they saw several people exiting the truck moments before the train hit. Scott Anderson, who was on the southbound side of the tracks at the gate at the time, said at least three people rushed out of the vehicle before the train struck and flames erupted. “It was a fireball for several minutes,” he said. Metra said trains on the BNSF line will run with “limited service” both Wednesday and Thursday following the crash.
