HARTFORD, Conn. — The driver of a car that was hit by a Metro-North train on Sunday will be billed for damages to the train, a spokeswoman for the commuter railroad said.
“The train was where it was supposed to be, and the car was not,” spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said. “The car caused damage to our train.”
Anders said it might take weeks to determine the cost of the damage.
The car was hit by the northbound train Sunday afternoon at a crossing on Herbert Street, a small residential street where there are no flashing lights or gates, according to police.
