More reported accidents involving South Shore trains have happened here than any other city between Chicago and South Bend for the past three years.

The latest was early Wednesday morning when Crystal Greene, 37, of Michigan City, drove into the path of a commuter train on Pleasant Avenue at Holiday Street. Greene died a short time later at Franciscan Health in Michigan City.

The accident was just one block away from a fatal accident that occurred in 2015 in the residential area east of downtown Michigan City and near the South Shore rail yard.

Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District Police Chief Bob Byrd said many of the accidents, however, occur along 10th and 11th streets in the city's downtown area where a single track still runs down the middle of the street.
