FREMONT, Ohio (AP) — Two people were killed and at least one
person was missing after multiple pedestrians were struck by a
train in northern Ohio, authorities said.
The group was hit Sunday evening in Fremont, near Lake Erie
between Toledo and Cleveland, WTOL-TV reported.
Fremont Mayor Danny Sanchez confirmed two fatalities, telling
reporters they were a 58-year-old woman and her 38-year-old
daughter. He said a toddler was hurt and that the missing person
is a 5-year-old child. He said crews were searching the Sandusky
River near the Miles Newton Bridge.
Sanchez said the group was from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and on a
fishing trip.
Freemont police said on X that the bridge was closed and urged
people to stay away from the area. Multiple law enforcement
agencies were on the scene.
Email messages seeing information were sent Monday morning to
the Fremont Police Department and to Sanchez.
