A train collision near Sunset Road and Decatur Boulevard left a man injured, the Metropolitan Police Department said.

Around 7:05 p.m. Wednesday, a train struck an unoccupied truck parked on the tracks at 6420 Cameron St.

After it was hit, the truck damaged fencing, which fell and hit several other vehicles. What appeared to be an unoccupied homeless camp was also hit, Metro Lt. Trish Heldt said in a text message. One man was injured and complained of neck pain, but he was stable.

Heldt added that the crash was under investigation. A portion of Sunset Road near the crash will be closed until Thursday. Metro was also expecting a repair crew from California on Thursday.
