AULT TOWNSHIP, MN (KDAL) – Just before noon on Wednesday, the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Department responded to a report of a semi versus train crash in Ault Township.

The 57 year old driver of the truck from Two Harbors was taken to a Duluth hospital for treatment of his injuries and the two C-N employees on the train were not injured.
