    Important news from Mainichi:

    ORA, Gunma — A woman sustained minor injuries after a weekend railroad crossing collision — with a rampaging wild boar, police said.

    The 60-year-old woman suffered a minor injury to her knee after the boar racing along the Tobu Koizumi Line tracks slammed into her as she traversed a railroad crossing.

    The boar raced away and has not been found.

    Police said the crossing the woman had been using had a gate and warning lights and bells, but these had not been activated because the tracks were being used by the wild animal and not a train.
