Driver hurt in collision with train still in ICU

Authorities identify those injured, killed

The driver of a car hit by a Kansas City Southern train remains in critical condition in the intensive care unit at CHRISTUS St. Michael Health System late Friday in Texarkana, Texas.

The crash occurred about 5:20 p.m. Thursday on Pine Street at the KCS intersection in Ogden, Ark., said Arkansas State Police Sgt. Robert Wilson.

The collision killed Bobby Burris, 37, and Braiden Miller, 10, both of Ogden.

Miller was pronounced dead at the scene by Little River County Coroner Roddy Smith, who also pronounced Burris dead in the emergency room of the Little River Memorial Hospital in Ashdown, Ark.

The driver of the 2007 Hyundai, Linda Hobbs, 66, of Ogden was listed in critical condition, Wilson said.

The car was eastbound on Pine Street when it collided with the northbound train.

The road condition was listed as wet from rain.

"I'm going to meet with the KCS conductor Tuesday or Wednesday to go over the train's camera and review the film to see what happened," said Wilson.

The railroad crossing has standard crossing signs with no crossing lights and no mechanical crossing arms, he said.
