Train strikes car in downtown Lawrenceburg

(LAWRENCEBURG, Ind.) – Nobody was seriously hurt after a train collided with a car in downtown Lawrenceburg on Wednesday. 

The incident happened on Mary Street around 2:15 p.m., according to the Dearborn County Register. 

The newspaper said the train pushed the car for approximately a city block before coming to a stop. 

The female driver of the car was not seriously injured and did not need medical treatment at the scene.

The City of Lawrenceburg has a speed limit for trains going through town which likely contributed to the slow speed that the train was traveling.
