The driver of a semi-truck temporarily got his rig hung up on a railroad crossing on Church Street in Le Roy. It is no longer blocking the tracks, where it completely tore off the crossing arm, which is now dangling from telephone wires above.
The big rig, out of Omaha, Nebraska, left the Southern Railroad extension with "very little left that is usable," according to the Le Roy police officer on the scene. The railroad has been notified and a rep is en route, with an ETA of about 20 minutes.
It's unknown whether a train will be traveling through there or not in the meanwhile.
No one was injured and no other vehicles were involved.
(UPDATE: 11:45 a.m.): Southern Railroad has issued a "stop and protect order" for the demolished crossing. Trains will be required to stop. Road flares are in place to alert people to the danger.
