The Iowa State Patrol says a Spillville man collided with a Canadian Pacific freight train on 295th Avenue on Wednesday.

17-year-old Jordan Blaess failed to see a westbound train in enough time to get stopped.  Blaess' vehicle collided with the train, then rolled over and came to rest in a ditch.  He was taken to Winneshiek Medical Center by ambulance.  No charges were filed in the accident.
