ST. PAUL PARK — Authorities say a crude oil train and a semitrailer carrying flour collided at a railroad crossing south of St. Paul that local officials are calling to be closed.

No one was hurt in the crash around noon Sunday in the city of St. Paul Park. Officials say flour was spilled onto the roadway, but the crude oil train was intact.

St. Paul Park Mayor Keith Franke says officials have had concerns about the crossing for some time, and the city is trying to close it.
