Residents and commuters can breathe a sigh of relief as officials confirmed that Frederica Street has fully reopened following a temporary closure caused by a train-related incident earlier today. As of 11:00 a.m. on January 28, 2026, the train that had been blocking the roadway is no longer obstructing traffic.

Earlier in the morning, officers responded to reports of a collision involving a train and a semi-truck near the intersection of West 11th Street and Locust Street. The incident caused a significant disruption when the stopped train extended across Frederica Street, forcing authorities to block the roadway while crews assessed the situation and ensured public safety.

According to law enforcement officials, no injuries were reported, a fortunate outcome given the size and potential danger associated with train and commercial vehicle collisions. Emergency responders and railroad personnel worked swiftly to secure the scene, evaluate both vehicles, and coordinate the safe movement of the train.

Traffic delays were reported throughout the area during the response, with drivers urged to seek alternate routes until the obstruction was cleared. By late morning, crews successfully moved the train, allowing Frederica Street to reopen and traffic to resume normal flow.
