A woman suffered a minor cut when a Metra train hit a car Saturday in West Town on the Near West Side.

The 22-year-old woman was driving a Honda Civic when it got stuck while trying to cross the tracks about 11:50 p.m. in the 300 block of North Green Street, according to Chicago police.

Inbound Metra Milwaukee District North train 2622, scheduled to arrive at Union Station at 11:58 p.m., hit the car, according to police and service alerts from Metra.
