BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Florida Highway Patrol has released more information on a tractor trailer vs. train crash that happened late Monday morning on Beau Geste Rd. an Cocoa Blvd.

The crash injured two people with one of those people still in critical condition, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
