CLINTON, Tenn (WVLT) -- A train has collided with a tractor trailer on Lee Road, just east of Clinton Highway.

Police and firefighters are on the scene.

WVLT Volunteer TV Photojournalist Nate McLaughlin says the car of the tractor trailer and the trailer itself are on opposite sides of the train.

McLaughlin reports the front end of the trailer is split open and what appears to be orange juice and paper products have spilled out on the tracks.

He's waiting to talk to police to gather more details.

Lee Road is closed, but Clinton Highway is open.
