An SUV traveling east on Garden Lane near Celery Flats was hit by a northbound train on Tuesday evening.
The driver of the SUV stopped at the crossing, then proceeded through, probably trying to beat the train, but the train caught the rear passenger corner of the vehicle. There were 3 people inside, one was taken to the hospital.

I am guessing it was a Grand Elk Train, based on the location.

The driver claimed that he didn't see the lights or the train. Yet he stopped at the crossing.

Ask you, WATCO-Grand Elk train stopped at crossing until flashes signals turn on then go. Okay, See in video 3:36 minutes = WATCO Ann Arbor RR Saline Branch stop at Textile Rd, then stop at S. State Rd then Pittsfield Jct. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDRlpE59Im8justalurker66 wrote:Crossing 536525B at MP 48.36 on the Grand Elk.
