SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Investigators are trying to determine what motivated the driver of a sport utility vehicle to ignore a downed crossing arm and flashing lights and pull the vehicle into the path of an oncoming commuter train.
Three died after the Saturday afternoon collision south of downtown Sacramento, including a 21-month-old boy.
One of the four people in the vehicle remained in the hospital Sunday at the University of California, Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, where she was being treated for serious injuries. Officer Laura Peck, a spokeswoman for the Sacramento Police Department, identified that victim as the wife of one of those killed in the crash.
Authorities also were trying to sort out the relationships of those involved and were not releasing their identifications.
