Rig that blocked train was overweight, police say

The tractor-trailer that blocked the path of a Chicago-bound commuter train was overweight and its cargo was improperly secured, state police said.

Three people died and six others were injured Thursday when the train rammed the trailer, sending a 20-ton steel coil from the truck hurtling through the train's passenger compartment. It flattened the seats like dominoes but left the hat rack above them untouched.Prosecutors Friday were deciding whether to press criminal charges against the truck's driver, Keith J. Lintz, 38.
