The bus came to rest off the roadway, wedged between the train’s engine and the crossing arms, which were toppled in the collision.

A woman riding the bus said the bus broke down on the tracks.
She said when she heard the train and saw the lights, she and others got off the bus and ran.

The crossing will be closed while crews repair the crossing arms.

Decatur police have not released any additional details. MARTA spokesman Lyle Harris said the accident remains under investigation.
