The driver of a pickup who collided with a BNSF Railway train Monday morning in Washougal was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Camas-Washougal Fire Department Battalion Chief Greg Payne said the driver was likely ejected from the vehicle.

Firefighters were dispatched at 6:23 a.m. for a report of a crash involving a train. Police officers also responded.

The vehicle crashed on the train tracks at Third Street, just north of C Street, in Washougal, Payne said. It was pushed about 75 feet down the tracks, he said.

The Camas Police Department said in a news release later Monday morning the crash happened at the crossing on Southeast Whitney Street (Third Street).
