CINCINNATI — Multiple people were taken to the hospital after a train hit a car in Carthage Tuesday afternoon.
Cincinnati Fire Department officials said four people — three adults and one child — were inside a car that was hit by a train on North Bend Road. The train hit the passenger side of the car, and officials said it pushed the car a quarter-mile north on the tracks before coming to a stop.
Officials said they struggled to access the scene, but were able to contact the train's crew via radio. The crew told officials all four were able to exit the car.
Once firefighters got to the scene, they helped the four people to a nearby parking lot where officials could make a path for ambulances. The three adults were taken to UC Medical Center while the child was taken to Cincinnati Children's.
Officials said all had minor injuries and they were taken to the hospital "out of an abundance of caution."
It is unclear at this time how the crash occurred. Fire officials said Cincinnati police are investigating the crash.
CSX released a statement Wednesday reminding drivers to be careful approaching railways.
"It is critical that drivers give their full attention when approaching grade crossings and practice safe behavior around tracks and trains," CSX said.
