A BNSF freight train slammed into a tanker truck at a railroad crossing on NE 29th Street in Fort Worth’s Diamond Hill area on Wednesday afternoon, November 11, 2026.

One BNSF employee was taken to a hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening.

WATCH: Train collides with tanker truck in Fort Worth
Texas Transportation Code Section 545.251 requires drivers approaching a railroad grade crossing to stop between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail when a signal warns of an approaching train, a crossing gate is lowered, or a train is plainly visible and in hazardous proximity. Drivers may not proceed until it is safe, and may not drive around or through a lowered crossing gate. Whether these rules were followed at the gated NE 29th Street crossing is part of the ongoing investigation.
Texas follows a modified comparative fault system under Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33. Responsibility for a crash can be divided among the parties involved, and an injured person can recover damages as long as they are not found more than 50 percent responsible. Any recovery is reduced by that person’s own percentage of fault.
