MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (AP) - Authorities say a northern Indiana woman died after a South Shore commuter train collided with her car as she attempted to cross railroad tracks.
Police say 37-year-old Crystal Greene of Michigan City disregarded warning lights when she drove a Nissan Sentra across the tracks in that city shortly before 6 a.m. Wednesday. She was pronounced dead from blunt force trauma at a hospital.
There are no gates at the crossing.
