A man was killed tonight when his Ford Probe was struck by a coal train in Weld County.
His name has not been released pending notification of his family.
The man was driving at about 6:40 p.m. near a private access road to a sod farm from a frontage road that parallels Interstate 76 roughly three miles west of Roggen, said Colorado State Patrol Trooper Nate Reid.
No one on the train was injured, he said.
The crossing did not have a gate, but the cause — including whether the driver tried to beat the train or was stopped on the track — is still under investigation.
