Cardinal hits van in Indiana

[Superliner Diner]

LOWELL, Ind. -- An Amtrak passenger train traveling from Washington to Chicago slammed into a van at a rural crossing in northwest Indiana, killing a Lowell woman.

Unfortunately yet another case of a driver not paying attention to the tracks she was crossing. Signals, gates, or nothing, you still should expect a train at any time in any direction. The entire story is here.
