I was driving my friend from Rexburg, ID to the Idaho Falls airport on Saturday, and we were in a traffic jam forever. When we finally got up to the scene, we saw a ton of rescue vehicles and police, a stopped train, a smashed car, tons of news stations and people in chaos. I found out later that an 8 month pregnant woman with her 11 year old son, and 3 year old daughter were trying to cross onto the highway when they were hit by the train. There car was knocked 100 feet into a pond by the river, the son was pronounced dead at the scene, the daughter is in the ICU, the mother had to undergo a C-section and the new baby is ok. Does anyone have any more details? I saw the woman and girl get life flighted, and I even saw the boy's covered body being loaded into an ambulence. It was an enormous scene. I was shocked and terrified. I prayed for whoever was involved and want to know more. God bless that poor family, not to mention the train conductor. Thanks for your time.... read more
