(Bismarck, ND) -- A 24-year-old Center man is dead after a collision with a BNSF train.

North Dakota Highway Patrol says the driver of the pickup was towing a stock trailer with three head of cattle on 30th Avenue Southeast when he struck the side of the train. The impact happened Tuesday night, causing the truck and trailer to roll. None of the cattle in the trailer survived, and the man wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

The train was repaired and continued on to Dilworth, Minnesota.
