NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. (WKBW) — Three people were killed after an Amtrak train struck a vehicle at Felton Street and River Road in North Tonawanda on May 17.
Following the deadly crash, Congressman Tim Kennedy sent a letter to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) requesting it investigate the crash “in an expedited manner” and if appropriate make recommendations to improve the safety of the CSX-owned crossing.
According to Kennedy, it is one of 18 at-grade crossings in North Tonawanda and there was previously a fatal accident there in 2001. Other non-fatal accidents have also occurred there.
In January, a 29-year-old woman from Wheatfield was killed in a crash involving a car and train at the Witmer Road railroad crossing near River Road.
