Re: Car/Train Accident in Milford
What browser are you using that you can't read the article? Works fine over here, but here's the entire cliff notes:
A 64-year-old Milford Township woman was killed Wednesday morning after a train collided with her vehicle at a railroad crossing in the Village of Milford.
A news release issued by Milford Police Chief Tom Lindberg states that the crash happened at around 11:30 a.m. at the railroad crossing on Old Plank Road, which is just inside the village limits.
As stated in the news release, a preliminary investigation indicates the vehicle was traveling northbound on Old Plank Road and failed to stop for the train, which was heading southeast. Personnel from the Milford Fire Department responded to the scene and attempted lifesaving measures before the woman was transported to Ascension Providence Hospital in Novi where she was pronounced dead.
There is no indication that the crossing signals malfunctioned or weren’t working properly, the news release states.
There were no other occupants in the car.
The accident is under investigation by Milford police and the Michigan State Police accident reconstruction unit.
“We ask travelers of the Milford community to have patience as this train is currently blocking all crossings throughout our community,” Lindberg stated in the news release. “Temporary detours are in place and all businesses will remain open and accessible to residents and guests.”
The Milford Police Department reminds drivers to use extreme caution at all railroad crossings.
Anyone that may have been in the area or witnessed the accident is asked to call the Milford Police Department at (248) 684-1815.

Firefox on a PC at work. I'd probably be able to get by the pop-up subscription window if I were on my macbook pro at home. Thanks.
