From ABC& TV News Chicago: <br /> <br />Metra train strikes multiple cars <br />November 23, 2005 (Elmwood Park, IL) - There is breaking news in northwest suburban Elmwood Park where a Metra train has struck several vehicles. It happened on Grand near Harlem in that suburb. <br /> <br />At least 10 ambulances have been called to the scene. It is unclear if anyone on board the train was injured but about a dozen vehicles are involved in the crash. This is a long crossing at Grand and Harlem. <br />It is not clear why so many vehicles were on the tracks at the time. <br /> <br />A Metra spokesman says a train heading from downtown Chicago to Antioch struck several vehicles during the holiday rush hour this afternoon. <br /> <br /> Spokesman Patrick Waldron says at least one of the vehicles burst into flames as a result of the accident. <br /> <br />There was no information available regarding injuries. <br /> <br />Waldron says the train probably was carrying several hundred passengers when the collision occurred. It left Chicago's Union Station at 4:25 p.m. <br /> <br />
