Brown Line Crashes Into Car Caught Between Crossing Gates At Francisco

 

CHICAGO — Brown Line trains between Kimball and Southport were temporarily suspended after a train crashed with a vehicle near the Francisco station Monday afternoon, the agency said.

Witnesses told both Delvalle and First Slice staff that the woman was stopped on the north side of the grade-level track, with the crossing gates down. When the gates went up, the driver proceeded to cross the tracks, only to have the gates come back down, trapping her car on the tracks.
