Train Vs. Truck: This is What it Looks Like

Baltimore County police released photographs of the impact of the waste-hauling truck and a CSX freight train May 28 that caused an explosion and fireball that shattered windows and rocked east Baltimore.

The driver, John Alban Jr., has been charged with seven misdemeanors in the crash.
