Woman dies in Ringgold train collision

Train Accident

RINGGOLD, Ga. (WDEF) — A train crashed into a car Friday morning in Ringgold, killing one person, according to the Georgia State Patrol (GSP).

A report from the GSP says a 2007 Toyota Camry was stopped on the train tracks at High Street and Evitt Street.

A 58-year-old woman was the driver of the car, but she was not inside. Instead, she was crouched near the driver’s side front tire when the train struck.

The GSP said the woman was hit by a CSX train, which was traveling south.

First responders pronounced the woman dead at the scene.

The investigation is ongoing.
