TRAX is delayed in South Jordan after truck runs red light and smashes into train

Delays continued on the TRAX Red Line in South Jordan on Tuesday after a pickup track ran a red light and crashed into a train on Monday night.

A bus bridge is in effect from the 5600 West station to the Daybreak Parkway station, according to UTA, and there’s no estimate of when the line will re-open. The South Jordan Parkway is also closed to traffic.

The pickup ran the red light on the South Jordan Parkway and collided with the northbound train near 10605 Grandville Ave. at about 8:20 p.m., derailing the train, knocking down a power pole and damaging the power line. There are no crossing arms at that intersection.

No one on the train was injured; the driver of the truck received minor injuries.
