(La Porte, IN) - Earlier this month, authorities say, a woman committed suicide by jumping from a bridge into a moving train car in Rolling Prairie.

 

On October 5th, police were called regarding a woman hanging over the bridge on U.S. 20, above the Norfolk Southern tracks.

 

Upon arrival, only a purse and cell phone, along with a pair of shoes, were located on the ground.

 

The westbound freight train was ordered to stop, doing so in downtown Chesterton. The woman was found dead in one of the train cars.

 

Chesterton Police released the information on the case Friday, with further details currently not having been provided.
