维亚铁路女发言人卡罗斯基（Catherine Kaloutsky）说，事发的火车是从温哥华驶往多伦多，车上有227名乘客，26名工作人员。事发后火车被迫停驶，乘客留在车上，直到急救人员赶到。

调查人员表示，当时由暴风雪造成的恶劣路况和能见度不高，可能也是事故发生的一个原因。

None of the 11 other crew members on board was hurt.

Kaloutsky said the westbound train en route from Toronto to Vancouver hit the truck around 8:15 a.m. While there were whiteout conditions at the time, investigators have not indicated if they were a factor.

A witness at the scene was quoted as saying she heard a "loud crash like a door slamming and I saw the vehicle fly, and when the train left I wasn't sure if I was imagining it."
