Buford, GA (January 23, 2023) – One person was killed in a train crash that took place in Buford on the morning of Sunday, January 22.

According to Gwinnett County officials, the accident happened on the railroad tracks at the cross of Shadburn Ferry Road. Police confirmed that an Amtrak train was headed in the area where Waterworks Road crosses the tracks with Shadburn. All of a sudden, it collided with a passenger vehicle on the tracks due to reasons that are not yet known. The train immediately came to a stop following the collision.

Several Buford responders, including paramedics and fire crews, were dispatched to the scene to help those in need. One person inside the passenger vehicle was badly damaged and tragically pronounced dead at the scene. Nobody else was injured in the accident.

Police confirmed that a second Amtrak train was backed up in the area due to the accident. This led to delays until the scene was cleared.

No further details have been released but the investigation into the accident remains ongoing. Police will update with more information as it becomes available.

We offer our warmest condolences to the family and friends of the victim whose life was lost in this horrific accident.
