Car vs Train Near Sun Prairie | Madison News

A driver in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, narrowly avoided disaster by crashing into a moving train on South Bird Street—where there are no crossing arms. No one was hurt, thanks to the driver’s failure to check for oncoming traffic, not speed. The local police sergeant, who’s never handled a train crash before, arrived to find the scene already secured and uninjured. Authorities are issuing a citation and urging caution at all crossings, especially those without automatic gates. The railroad company is also investigating, but found no issues with the train or crew. Scene cleared in 30 minutes—just another reason to stay alert near tracks.
