2 Women Killed, 3 Kids Injured After Minivan Was Hit by Freight Train While Driving Around Crossing Arm

Two women were killed and three children were injured when a minivan was hit by a freight train in Birmingham, Alabama.
Authorities say the vehicle appeared to drive around a railroad crossing arm before impact.
The victims were identified as Carolyn Elaine Berry, 47, and Aldereka Laqulla Ikes, 36.
Berry was described by a daughter as the 'life of the party'.
Three of the four children in the minivan were taken to Children’s of Alabama Hospital with injuries.
Video footage from a drone may shed light on train speed and crossing visibility at the time of the crash.
Operation Lifesaver says trains can move far faster than people expect.
The coroner’s office is continuing to investigate the crash.
The incident occurred in the early hours of a Friday in Birmingham.
The report notes the vehicle had four children inside at the time of the crash.
