The intersection where the speeding train collided with a lumbering truck has drawn complaints for years. Now the widow of the dump truck driver killed in the Amtrak collision in Missouri is suing a railroad inspector and the county where the collision occurred.
The widow of the dump truck driver killed in the Amtrak collision in Missouri on Monday is suing a railroad inspector and the county where the collision occurred.

The suit alleges that a supervisor for Burlington Northern Santa Fe, the railroad that owns and operates the tracks used by Amtrak, and Chariton County should have known the crossing was dangerous.
