Florida: Three teenage girls taking pictures on a narrow bridge in a Florida town have been hit by a train, police and a witness said on Sunday.
The girls crossed the trestle around 6:30pm Saturday, said Lt. Curtis Barger.
Witness Bruce Dumas said that the girls were about midway across when the train barreled down the tracks, blowing its whistle continuously.
Dumas said he could hear the sound of the brakes. After the impact, he heard a girl screaming and crying.
"I think the train was on them so fast they froze and didn't know what to do," Dumas said. "It's crazy to watch a young life snuffed out like that. They didn't have a chance to live yet."
Authorities are investigating the incident.
