Gates worked in fatal car-train crash in Palatine

January 05, 2012

Palatine police have determined that crossing signals and gates were activated and working properly Dec. 27 when an express Metra train struck a car in the village's downtown, killing the vehicle's 64-year-old driver. "It was clear the signals were activated and that the gates were down in time leading up to accident and even after train passed through," Cmdr. Craig Lesselyoung said.
