Sanborn, IA (KICD)– A Lake Park woman avoided injury in a crash involving a train Tuesday afternoon west of Sanborn.

The O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office says 32-year-old Lindsey Reese was northbound on Redwing Avenue just south of Highway 18 shortly after 1:15 when she failed to stop at the railroad crossing telling investigators she thought the train was stopped until she heard the locomotive’s horn only to have her brakes lock up when she attempted to stop.

The crash report notes all safety measures at the crossing were utilized and functioning as designed. Reese was cited for failing to properly stop at a railroad crossing.
