A truck driver escaped serious injury Wednesday morning when a train struck the tractor-trailer he was driving in south Fulton County.

The incident happened before 8 a.m. at a rail crossing on Mallory Road at Roosevelt Highway.

The impact flipped the truck's trailer on its side, but the cab of the truck remained upright.

Mallory Road remained closed as police investigated the incident and cleared the wreckage, but traffic was getting by on Roosevelt Highway.
