COLORADO SPRINGS — On the morning of Sunday, October 27, the Colorado Springs Police Department responded to a call about a vehicle that had been struck by a train crossing South Sierra Madre Street.

Officers responded and found an unoccupied vehicle that had been hit by a train.

An initial investigation found that the driver had turned onto the train tracks as if to travel down them and got stuck. As a train approached, the driver got out of the vehicle and fled.

Officers located the driver shortly after and arrested Haleigh Micci for DUI.

No one was injured in this incident.
