Inbound and outbound Metra UPNW trains were stopped for several hours near Norwood Park after a train struck a vehicle Saturday afternoon, killing one person.
WGN’s Christine Flores spoke with some passengers aboard the train at the time of the crash.

No train hits anything that should not have been there in the first place.
Darwin…..still undefeated.
RIP 🤍 🕊
these so-called reporters lol downward spiral…
Man, what is happening out there
Always dumbasses driving in Norwood park pulling into the crossing gate were those tracks are at
Go watch the money part bet it's better safer stuff than a long the city rail road intersections ?
Omg
That was stupid to try and beat a train!
Feel bad for the train operator. Driver stupidity strikes again. Stop disobeying the signs smh
A lot of people think it's safe to start driving or start walking over railroad tracks after the gate goes up. That is incorrect. You have to wait until after the gate goes up and also after the flashing lights have stopped flashing and if another train is coming and the lights are still flashing and the gates go back down you got to wait for that next train. That is the law people honk at me all the time. They can go around me and not follow the law if they choose
Go Go Power Rangers 😊
Who was the driver?
After watching that video it must have been on their phone and not paying attention because if you're going to try to cross why would you stop?
Looks like a suicide, they stopped on the tracks
🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾 Rushing trying to cross the tracks and underestimating the power of a speeding locomotive. 👊🏾👊🏾🚆🚂
So sad😢 please stop!👋👩🦼👩🦼🙏
Why is people driving on the tracks
My niece was on that train glad she was ok people need to stop trying to race the train just wait
My friend drives the Metra trains and I sent him this video to see if he knows ABOUT this… CRAZY what you see being a train operator over 20 years
Let me see, the train steered towards the car that was on the tracks? Ya, sure! People amaze me! Blame the train…how about the driver that ignored crossing gates. The media is a joke on how they always blame the train!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🕊️
This is not fair to the train conductors😕
Train line? Um, railroad is the term.
someday they will realize cars should go over or under tracks. never shall they ever meet.
Is the train ok?
Hopes and prayers😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tough. If they parked on the tracks that's what happens
That’s what you get for driving on the tracks
Idiotic title! 🤪
This was not a suicide – just an accident. I know the lady that was killed and she was on her way to her friends house. She was beloved by many people. She spent her whole life taking care of sick people and a lot of us are devastated. That stop in particular has had a lot of issues – I know a few folks who have had near misses with the train. Please stay safe.

The Metra train did NOT hit the vehicle. The VEHICLE hit the train.
