Woman, dog struck and killed by Metra train in Glencoe, Illinois
A woman was struck and killed by a Metra train this weekend in the North Shore Chicago suburb of Glencoe.
A dog was also killed in the crash.
Around 9:35 a.m. Saturday, Glencoe Public Safety was called to the Union Pacific North Metra line near Green Bay and Maple Hill roads, where they found the woman and the dog dead on the tracks.

The office said she died from multiple injuries after being hit by the train.
All train and vehicular traffic was halted after the incident, police said.
The other dog ran from the scene and has yet to be located.
