A train hit two women who walked through a railway bridge in a city in Ohio on Sunday, said the mayor, and the authorities were looking for a 5 -year -old boy who disappeared after the accident.
The train hit and killed women, aged 38 and 58, at approximately 7:30 pm on a bridge that is about 40 feet on the Sandusky River in Fremont, said the mayor, Danny Sánchez. Fremont is about 40 miles to the southeast or Toledo.
A 1 -year -old boy was rescued from the river and hospitalized, and the emergency teams were searching on the river on Monday morning, Sánchez said. He did not say what condition was the retention of 1 year, and it was not clear if any of the children had also hit the bone by the train.
The four people seemed to be part of a large family who had traveled to Fremont from Fort Wayne, Ind., To fish in the river, said Sánchez. The river route is known as a place for white lubina fishing in spring.
“We believe they were simply here in the area trying to enjoy the Sandusky River,” said Sánchez.
He added that the bridge was clearly marked as only for trains.
It was not clear immediately which train line was involved.
David Tucker III, 20, was fishing next to the Sandusky River when he heard the train approaching the bridge and playing his horn, he said.
As the train approached, he continued his horn intermittently, until the engineer called him continuously, Tucker said.
Mr. Tucker, then, what he estimated was that four or five people “fall directly to the water,” from the train easel, he said.
He could only see his feet while floating downstream. Mr. Tucker called 911 at 7:25 pm, he said.
His father, David Tucker Jr., had just returned to Casa del Labor and also said he had heard that the train sounded his horn.
“I looked out the rear window and I could see people in panic,” he said, added that he also heard that the train “hits its brakes.” He immediately called his son because he knew his son was fishing in the river.
According to the Tuckers, the victims seemed to be crossing the train easel to reach the other side. The easel has a “non -intrusion” sign, they said.
