At least 7 killed when train hits Jeep in New York

Tuesday.

He didn't even know there had been an accident nor that the crash would kill the driver -- a woman whose SUV, a transit official said, appeared to have gotten stuck on the track.


Kaback also received no warning about the fire about to ignite in the first car of the train, where six more people lost their lives and a dozen more were injured.


The Jeep's driver may have gotten out to see what was holding it back, a rail official said. She got back in the SUV and may have been trying to drive off the tracks when the Metro-North Railroad train hit her at Valhalla, the official said.
