Train Runs Over Woman in Butler County

(Montgomery, OH) – April 1^st, 2016 – The incident happened in Hamilton 30 miles north of Cincinnati.

The woman, whose identity has not been released by the police, saw a southbound train pass through the intersection, ignored the guard and walked right onto the train tracks. She was run over by a northbound train. Robinson said that it is a case of simply being impatient.

Or was it suicide?

A two-mile stretch of the track was closed for two hours as investigators tried to determine what went wrong at the scene of the accident. The area where the accident happened is a problem zone according to law enforcement. A man was similarly killed just 300 yards from the latest tragedy just three weeks ago.
