Woman hospitalized after car-train crash in Ann Arbor Twp.

Authorities say a 23-year-old Livonia woman who drove her car into an oncoming train in Ann Arbor Township Friday is in stable condition.

Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office says the woman's 2006 Ford Focus struck a train while it was crossing Pontiac Trail at 4:30 a.m. The car was badly damaged and pushed into a ditch.

The train operator didn't immediately notice the collision and continued. However, another train crossing that location at about 6 a.m. called 911.

The driver was pinned down, but Ann Arbor firefighters were able to free her using extraction tools. The woman, who was transported to a nearby hospital, is expected to fully recover from her injuries.
