TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A young woman is dead and her male companion is injured after they were hit by an Amtrak train in Tacoma.
Police say they were told by witnesses that the two 18-year-olds were taking photos when the accident occurred near Titlow Park about 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
Both were rushed to the hospital where the woman was declared dead. The young man’s condition wasn’t immediately available. No names were released.
Officials say the train was en route from Seattle to Eugene and was traveling about 35 mph at the time of the accident, which delayed the train for three hours.
