 Two people died today near Plummer when the car they were in collided with a train. According to the state patrol, 78-year-old Emily Skirvin of Plummer was driving a car east on a private driveway and failed the yield at the stop sign for a railroad crossing. A Canadian Pacific train traveling south on the railroad's tracks struck the car. Skirvin and a passenger 79-year-old Carol Gerrity of Plummer both died in the crash, which happened around 10.45 this morning. It's unclear if the car was stopped on the tracks or if the car was moving across the tracks at the time of the collision. Information on that's not real clear at this time, but again that's one of those things where it remains an investigation and that's things that we hope to learn through the course of the investigation. And we will be doing a crash reconstruction of the actual crash itself. Both women were wearing their seatbelts and the state patrol says alcohol was not involved.
