| Pa. mom, toddler in stroller killed by train |
| DERRY, Pa. -- Police say a woman pushing a stroller across railroad tracks in western Pennsylvania was struck by a train and both she and her 2-year-old son died, the Associated Press reported.
Authorities say the 37-year-old Derry mother and three of her children were returning from a shopping trip early Friday evening. They say she was struggling to push the stroller across the tracks when she and her toddler son were hit by a Norfolk Southern train at about 5 p.m. Her two young daughters managed to dart across the tracks and were not injured. The victims' names have not been released pending notification of relatives. A Norfolk Southern spokesman says the company is cooperating with the investigation but declined to comment further. The crash happened less than 100 feet from where a 15-year-old was struck and killed by a train in July. (The preceding article was distributed October 31, 2009, by the Associated Press.) |
