Emergency personnel responded about 5:45 p.m. Wednesday to a crash involving an SUV and a train at the railroad crossing on Bluff Road at Outlet Road west of Maeystown.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported. There were three occupants in the vehicle, which had its front end knocked off in the collision. The driver was a 15-year-old female who had one of her parents as a passenger. The train was traveling north.

Responding agencies included the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department, Valmeyer Police Department and Monroe County EMS. A Union Pacific official also responded to the scene.

Police said the young driver of a 2007 Pontiac Vibe accidentally drove straight instead of following the railroad crossing angle to the right, resulting in the SUV getting stuck on the tracks. The driver and passengers – 43-year-old Michael D. Berg and an 11-year-old female – exited the vehicle before the collision occurred.
