A simulated crash between a train and a car, will be taking place tomorrow at the Bartholomew County 4-H Fairgrounds.

The Louisville & Indiana Railroad is working with local firefighters and Bartholomew County Emergency Management to train emergency workers how to respond to train-vehicle collisions. That is part of a three-day “trauma camp” going on at the fairgrounds.

The mock collision will be set up near the Bartholomew County Fairgrounds to train Columbus Township Fire & Rescue firefighters and other emergency organizations about safe and effective ways to respond to train collisions. An Indiana University LifeLine helicopter crew is participating in the event.

The six-hour event is part of the third annual Bartholomew County Trauma Camp for local first responders.

Spear Street near the county fairgrounds may be temporarily shut down Saturday afternoon from 2 to as late as 6 p.m.

Crews will be setting up the accident scene starting at 5 p.m. this afternoon.
