6 family members were killed and one injured after a freight train crushed an SUV in Florida on Saturday evening.
The Sheriff, who responded to the scene, states that, "for unknown reasons, the driver slowly crossed the tracks directly in the trains path."
The train rolled and ejected the five passengers out of the car; all were announced dead upon impact.
The driver, Jose Hernandez, and the front passenger were rescued and both transported to Lakeland Regional Hospital. Both were listed as being in critical condition.
Hernandez later died in the Hospital, but the front passenger remains in critical condition.
The Sheriffs Special Victims Unit has been providing resources for those close to the families affected by this incident.
