Both roads have since reopened. Neighbors say they’re not sure exactly what happened, but they know when the train is coming. They say the whistle blows long and loud well before the train crosses the street. People who live along lime street walked outside when they realized the train stopped moving.

I don’t know why the guy didn’t hear the horn because I heard the train coming, but I didn’t hear the accident but it’s kind of shocking when I walked out my front door to see all of this,” said Chuck Swanson. “I heard the commotion inside of the house and I didn’t think much of it, I’ve seen police cars around before, but I just came out front and saw what I thought might’ve been a train derailment. But I found out it’s not. It’s a truck and a train collision of the road here and so everybody’s all right, that’s good news but you know it’s kind of alarming to me, that railroad track is right behind my house.” The scene of a train’s collision with a truck at the intersection of Lime Street and Cranford Avenue in Fort Myers, Tuesday, July 5, 2022.
