IMPD investigating two train, car collisions less than 24 hours apart
Indianapolis police are investigating separate car and train collisions that occurred less than 24 hours apart over the weekend on the city's northeast and east sides. No deaths have been reported.
A vehicle and a CSX train collided at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and North Sherman Drive around 2:37 p.m. on April 26, a CSX spokesperson said.
Indianapolis Metropolitan police officers responded to a report of serious bodily harm and found a red Jeep SUV at the scene, according to WTHR reporting. CSX said no injuries were reported at the scene. It's unclear how many people were in the vehicle at the time of the crash.
A CSX spokesperson did not answer IndyStar questions on if the railroad crossing is protected by a stop-arm and light.
Three miles southwest, just before 6 a.m. April 27, police responded to another report of a vehicle and train collision near East Michigan Street and North Pine Street just east of I-65/I-70. FOX59 and CBS 4 crews reported seeing a red Toyota Camry on the train tracks that looked to be hit from behind.
It's unclear if anyone was in the car at the time of the collision.

Driver dies after colliding with Maryland State Police cruiser on I-95 in Howard County; 3 injured
HOWARD COUNTY, Md. () — One person is dead and three people were hospitalized after five vehicles, including a Maryland State Police cruiser, were involved in a crash in Howard County early Sunday. Just minutes after 2 a.m., MSP troopers received a call for a trooper-involved crash in the area of Interstate 95 south, north of Maryland 100. At the scene, troopers learned that an on-duty MSP trooper was sitting in his unmarked patrol vehicle on the left shoulder of I-95 when, for unknown reasons, a Jeep Cherokee hit him, according to MSP. Police said the impact of the crash caused the Jeep to go into the roadway, where a GMC pickup truck, a Lincoln SUV and a Volkswagen struck it. The driver of the Jeep, who police have not yet identified, died at the scene, and a passenger from the vehicle was taken to the hospital for treatment. The driver of the GMC pickup truck was also hospitalized. Responders rescue 2 people from Potomac River in DC after boat overturns Medics took the trooper to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. He has since been released, state police noted. Troopers arrested the driver of the Volkswagen, Brenton Passmore, 32, of Crofton, at the scene of the crash, charging them with suspected driving under the influence. As a result of the five-vehicle crash, lanes were closed for about four hours but have since reopened. The investigation into what exactly caused the crash remains ongoing.
