Apparently, the bus was struck by a freight train after a collision happened at Carroll Street??WNDU wrote:According to Michigan City Police, the collision happened at Carroll Street and Holiday near the South Shore station around 8:40 p.m. CST after a South Shore bus was struck by a freight train.
These people get paid to write this stuff?
Also, it's Carroll AVENUE, not Street.

"The mother of a woman on the bus told 16 News Now that the bus was crossing the tracks when it was hit by the train and then pushed further down the tracks. She says there were a few minor injuries, and some people were taken to the hospital for evaluation."
The NICTD alerts last night was: "Passengers are advised that due to a grade-crossing incident, WB Tr 22 is currently delayed 60+ minutes and EB Tr 19 is delayed 20-30 minutes. All remaining SSL trains are expected to operate on schedule."
Since there were passengers on the bus I assume that the crossing involved was the one at the station parking lot?
I was hoping for an update with details.
