AURORA | A 27-year-old woman tried to commit suicide by stepping in front of a slow-moving train in north Aurora early Thursday morning, police said.
The woman, whose name was not released, was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. She will also undergo a mental health evaluation, police said.
The incident happened around 2:30 a.m. near Chambers Road and Smith Road.
Police said that when they arrived, the woman told them she tried to commit suicide by stepping in front of the train, which police said wasn’t moving very fast.
North and southbound Chambers were closed this morning at Smith while police investigated. Police said in an email around 4:30 a.m. that it wasn’t clear when the road would re-open.
The railroad company, which wasn’t identified, took the train out of service while they brought on a new crew, police said.
