EATON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Eaton County authorities say a 72-year-old woman was hurt when she drove her sport utility vehicle into the path of a freight train at an ungated railroad crossing.

The sheriff's department says the injuries to Pinkie Moore of Charlotte aren't believed to be life-threatening.

The department says Moore was driving on a gravel road Tuesday morning and stopped at the crossing in Eaton Township, just north of Charlotte, then drove onto the tracks. The impact knocked the SUV into a creek.

Charlotte fire Chief Kevin Fullerton says there have been a number of crashes and several deaths at the crossing.

Neighbors tell the Lansing State Journal the crossing is scheduled to get barrier arms in a few weeks.
