Train crash
A train car crash Wednesday left one man dead and another injured.
Donley County Deputy Kelly Hill says the train conductor and engineer both said two vehicles went around the crossarms traveling north at the Kearney Street crossing at about 3 p.m.
The first car passed the crossing, but the second driven by 70-year-old Naomi Tolbert of Clarendon did not.
58-year-old Blade Barker, also of Clarendon, was thrown from the car and was later pronounced dead on the scene.
The woman was alert, according to Donley County officials.
She was transported to the hospital in Amarillo and later transported to Lubbock.
No citations or charges have been filed, and the investigation continues.
