Train crashes in to SUV

An outbound Metra train collided with a car in the northwest suburbs this morning, delaying commuters for up to an hour, officials said.

Milwaukee District North train 2201, which left from Chicago, struck the car just after 7:30 a.m. at a crossing on Half Day Road, between Metra's Deerfield and Lake Forest stations, according to the transit agency.
It was unclear whether the motorist was injured, but no one on the train was hurt, said Metra spokesman Tom Miller.
Authorities halted the train while clearing and investigating the crash. Trains on the line could be delayed 30 to 60 minutes, Metra officials said.
