Crash Involving Train and Pickup Truck Claims Lives of Two Boys with Third in Critical Condition near Williston, North Dakota
That is terrible. Love and compassion to the families and friends.
🙏🏿
How awful.
So tragic! People, this is why railroad safety is so incredibly important! It’s never the trains fault when accidents like this happen. Motorists have to remember that they are always the ones responsible to stop and yield at all railroad crossings. Trains are huge and cannot stop for you. I’m praying for the families who lost their dear loved ones and also for the engineer and crew of the train who are now probably traumatized by this. Sending lots of prayers for them all. 💔
Sending prayers for the families 🙏
So sad. Thank you emergency responders! Maybe one life can be saved.
So sorry to hear this,,, Prayers,,,
