Truck hit by train after getting stuck on tracks outside Vinings restaurant

A pickup truck was hit by a train outside a train-themed restaurant in Vinings Tuesday evening, police confirmed.

The truck’s driver got his vehicle stuck on the railroad track in the parking lot of Orient Express at 2921 Paces Ferry Road, Cobb County police spokesman Wayne Delk told AJC.com. Orient Express is a Chinese, sushi and hibachi restaurant within an old train car, according to the restaurant’s website.

He wasn’t able to dislodge his truck from the tracks before a train came along and struck it, causing the vehicle to collide with other cars in the parking lot, Delk said. The driver got out of the truck before the train hit it, and no one was injured.
