Car Strikes Train in Philadelphia

Posted on May 11th, 2010 No Comments

A commuter train collided with a car stuck between gates at a crossing in Philadelphia, injuring one person, police say.

According to officials with the Philadelphia Police Department, the accident happened at a crossing in the East Falls section of the city Thursday night. Police say no one on the train was injured. Fifty-four-year old passenger Joe Higgins said the Norristown-bound train was moving slowly as it approached a station when the accident occurred.

Many people on board the train didn’t even realize something had happened, Higgins said. Passengers remained on the train until Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority personnel took them off.

The car was sitting upside-down after the crash and appeared to have suffered significant damage.
