Menlo Woman Crashes into Parked Train

A car crashed into a train near the ethanol plant in Menlo Wednesday night. Troopers said Amanda Powell of Menlo was driving down Talon Avenue, just east of the power plant, when her car collided with the parked train. Troopers say she became distracted when crossing the first set of railroad tracks, and she struck a set of parked Iowa Interstate Railroad cars being prepped to be hooked onto an engine, ISP said. KCCI reports she was brought to a Des Moines hospital in serious condition.
