A devastating train accident in Fremont, Ohio, resulted in the deaths of at least two pedestrians and left one person missing. The incident happened Sunday night as a train struck individuals crossing a trestle bridge near the Sandusky River. Mayor Danny Sanchez confirmed the fatalities and the ongoing search for the missing person while noting it was unusual for pedestrians to be on that crossing. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as people appeared to fall into the river from the bridge, with sirens and emergency calls following the event.
As the train neared, it continued to sound its horn, until finally the engineer just held down the horn, Mr. Tucker said. I could see only their feet as they floated down the river.
The fall was about 20 feet, Mr. Tucker said. He could see only their feet as they floated down the river.
Fremontâs mayor stated it was not common for people to be crossing where the pedestrians were struck, though further details about the location were not immediately available.
David Tucker III, who witnessed part of the incident, explained that he heard the train coming and saw people drop into the water from the bridge.
