A man was killed in a Monday collision with train.
Troopers from the Indiana State Police-Versailles Post began investigating a car versus train crash that occurred just east of Greensburg that claimed the life of a Decatur County man.
About 12:30 p.m. Monday, a 2006 Dodge Caravan, driven by Charles A. Papenhaus, 78, of Greensburg, turned southbound onto County Road 200 East from State Road 46. The driver’s side of the vehicle was then struck by a westbound Indiana and Ohio Railway Train that was crossing County Road 200 East.
Papenhaus was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Decatur County Coroner’s Office. Neither of the two occupants of the train were injured in the collision.
The crash remains under investigation.
The Indiana State Police was assisted by the Decatur County Sheriff’s Department, Greensburg Fire Department, Decatur County EMS, and the Decatur County Coroner’s Office.
