"Metra Train Hits Multiple Vehicle"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(CBS) ELMWOOD PARK A Metra train has hit multiple vehicles on Grand Avenue west of Harlem Avenue in Elmwood Park, injuring at least 13 people.

A Metra spokesman says the Metra North Central Service train heading to Antioch from downtown Chicago has struck numerous vehicles near the commuter rail's Elmwood Park station.

Five vehicles were hit by the train itself, and as many as a dozen were hit in a chain reaction.

Authorities say at least 13 people were injured, but no fatalities have been reported. Several people had to be extricated from vehicles. Four of the injured were transported to Gottlieb Memorial in Melrose Park, and hospital officials say they are expecting more injured to arrive. Three victims went to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood."
