Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari says no one suffered serious or life-threatening injuries in Tuesday morning's crash involving the Hoosier State line in a rural area about 25 miles north of Lafayette. 

He says train carrying 56 passengers and three crew members from Indianapolis to Chicago collided with a semi that was blocking the tracks. Magliari says it's unclear why the driver disregarded signs at the marked crossing.
