P370-20 is currently stopped around CG 85.3 after being struck by a vehicle. Sounds like the single occupant of the vehicle fled the scene on foot.

P370-20 @ 22:05 got the ok to depart the scene. Also, the driver of the vehicle was reported to have returned the scene.

Sounds like P370-20 is now on the move, with some superficial damage to the locomotive (IDTX 4608) and no apparent damage to the coaches.

Makes sense, because with a damaged vehicle they were unlikely to flee via car!
