Western Springs, Illinois: Amtrak Train Strikes Car, Two Elementary Students Killed, Driver Seriously Injured
A fatal crash occurred at about 8 a.m. on November 11 in Western Springs, Illinois, where an Amtrak train struck a car at the Wolf Road railroad crossing. Two children in the car were killed and the driver was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. The Village of Western Springs said on social media that the two children were students of Pleasantdale School District 107 and that the driver was hospitalized in serious condition.
District 107 Superintendent Dave Palzet confirmed the news and said counselors and crisis intervention staff would be at school on November 12 to support students and staff. The village said details of the crash remain under investigation; preliminary reports indicate the crossing gates were working properly and were down at the time. The crossings at Grand Avenue and Wolf Road were closed for a time for the investigation, and the village said it would provide updates as the investigation progresses.
The final cause awaits the joint investigation by the Illinois State Police and Metra. The children's names had not been released as of publication.
