No one is hurt after a Norfolk Southern smashes into a car in Stryker. Officials say the woman in the car did not clear enough ice off of her windshield to see as she tried to negotiate the weather on Defiance Street. They say she saw the railroad crossing gates were down…lights flashing as well. The woman thought it was a weather related malfunction and tried to go around the gates. The car ends up on the tracks…the woman calls 911 for help…the police arrive and get the woman away from the vehicle…they also call the railroad to warn them…but they say it was too late…the train was slowing down…but not enough…the car is destroyed and the train was delayed for a time as some repairs had to be made. An investigation is underway.
