The driver of a vehicle that collided with a train at a private crossing in Western Kenosha County Thursday afternoon was killed in the crash, according to Sheriff’s Office.
A southbound Canadian National train pulling 103 rail cars collided with the vehicle shortly after 1 p.m. at crossing just north of 258th Avenue, according to officials. The train was able to come to a stop north of Highway C.
The driver of the vehicle was fatally injured and personnel from the Kenosha County Medical Examiner’s office were summoned to the scene, sheriff’s officials said.
