GERING, Neb. (AP) — Authorities in the Nebraska Panhandle are investigating what caused a man to drive his car into a moving train.

Gering police say 60-year-old Michael Green, of Scottsbluff, became disoriented Tuesday morning and went around the gate arms at a train crossing. He drove his pickup into an empty coal car attached to a moving train.

The pickup was damaged but Green was not injured. He was taken to a local hospital as a precaution.

Green told authorities he was dizzy right before the accident.
