Vehicle vs. train crash in Caldwell County sends driver to hospital

A vehicle versus train crash Wednesday night in Caldwell County sent the driver to an area hospital.

The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office investigated and says 28-year old Macie Oliver of Princeton was southbound on Matt Rich Road and failed to yield the right of way at the railroad crossing to a westbound train.

Oliver initially refused medical treatment at the scene, but later had to be flown to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Two juvenile passengers in the vehicle were not hurt.
