NEW ORLEANS -- Three people are recovering Wednesday morning from injuries sustained when an Amtrak passenger bound for New Orleans collided with an 18-wheeler, according to WDSU TheNewOrleansChannel.com.

The incident occurred Tuesday night in Bessemer, Alabama.

Sixty-six people were aboard the train en route from Birmingham to New Orleans when the accident occurred.

Authorities are not sure whether the truck stalled on the tracks or if the driver failed to look both ways.

The train resumed its journey to New Orleans after a two-hour delay.
