No one was injured Tuesday evening after a car was reported parked on the railroad tracks near 6-1/2 Mile Road and Highway V, Caledonia police Lt. Gary Larsen confirmed.
"The car has been removed and the driver will be receiving appropriate help," he told Patch via email.

According to scanner reports from Racine County Scanner, the car was discovered at about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. It is unclear if the vehicle is occupied or not, but there is a report that this may involve a suicidal subject.
