Two freight trains collided head-on Wednesday afternoon several miles north of Gunter in Grayson County, killing one person and injuring four others.

About 20 cars from the Burlington Northern Santa Fe trains derailed, but officials said there were no hazardous materials involved. However, a hazardous materials crew was called to the scene to clean up spilled diesel fuel. One train was loaded with rocks; one was empty. At least one of the locomotives burned, officials said.

Department of Public Safety Trooper Rebecca Euresti said the engineer on the southbound train died. Officials were withholding his name pending the notification of next of kin.

One of the injured crew members suffered severe burns and was taken by CareFlite to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, officials said. The others were taken to Wilson N. Jones Medical Center in Sherman.

Joe Faust, director of public affairs for Burlington Northern, said the cause of the collision was not immediately determined. It was unclear how long the track would be closed.

The National Transportation Safety Board is also investigating.
