The collision occurred at 4:36 p.m. Thursday, as the parade crossed over train tracks at South Garfield Street and West Industrial Avenue. The parade featured two trucks that carried wounded veterans and their spouses on seats attached to open flatbed trailers. The first truck crossed over the tracks, but the second -- carrying 12 veterans, 12 spouses and two escorts -- was struck by a Union Pacific freight train bound for Louisiana.
