A driver of a car suffered minor injuries after being struck
by a train Tuesday morning at the intersection of Elberta Road and Hwy. 247.
According to a Houston County Sheriff’s Office press
release, around 9:36 a.m. the driver of a 2011 Toyota Corolla did not stop at
the intersection. Instead, she drove around the railroad crossing arms, states
the release.
Norfolk Southern employees were working on the crossing arms
at the time, and they told investigators that the arms were down and the lights
were flashing when the accident happened, according to the release.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Guy
Fussell, Jr. at 478-542-2080.
