SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Authorities say a commuter train struck an SUV at a crossing in northern Indiana, knocking the vehicle onto its roof and killing its driver. No one on the train suffered significant injuries.
Police say the train was traveling at about 70 mph with some 200 passengers on board when the collision happened near South Bend on Sunday night. The train had set off from Chicago.
