A Metra passenger train in Bensenville struck a car on Friday that apparently slid on ice into the train tracks. Bensenville Fire Battalion Chief Larry Karp said the car slid on ice around 7:30 p.m. on Friday and came to stop between two sets of tracks. A train coming into the station clipped the car, injuring three adults inside. Karp said that those three were taken to Elmhurst Memorial Hospital with minor injuries and two other people were checked at the scene. [Chicago Sun-Times]
