Last updated on Wednesday, October 10, 2018

(EDINBURGH) - Authorities say a train collided with an SUV at a railroad crossing in Edinburgh, killing two people and seriously injuring a third.

Indiana State Police say the collision late Monday killed the SUV's driver, 30-year-old Joshua Kelso of Cloverdale, and a back seat passenger, 20-year-old Justice Llewellyn of Franklin. A front seat passenger, 26-year-old Myranda Akers, was ejected from the SUV and taken to an Indianapolis hospital in serious condition.

Police say Kelso disregarded a stop sign and drove into the path of a train consisting only of two engines. The train collided with the driver's side of the SUV and pushed it down the tracks before it left the tracks and rolled over.
