Car Hits Stalled Train At ‘Notorious’ Crossing

Authorities say a car drove into a train that was “completely stopped” at a notorious railroad crossing in Woodhaven.
The accident happened early Wednesday morning at the railroad tracks on Allen Road just north of Van Horn Road.
Police tell WWJ a vehicle traveling northbound on Allen Road struck the train, which was stopped on the tracks. Other details weren’t immediately clear. “One car, it looks like it was just clipped by the edge of one of the flatbed trailers on the train tracks,” WWJ’s Bill Szumanski reported from above the scene in Chopper 950.
