MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Ind. — An Amtrak train hit and killed a Darlington man in Montgomery County Thursday night, deputies said.
Timothy Pettice, 33, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Montgomery County coroner.
Just before 10:45 p.m., the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office responded to a deadly crash on Nucor Road, near Comfort Road. The Indiana State Police reconstruction team investigated the crash at the request of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.
A preliminary investigation showed that a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe was traveling northbound on Nucor Road approaching a railroad crossing.
At that time, an Amtrak train was going eastbound, approaching the crossing.
Authorities said the railroad crossing arms were down and the crossing lights were flashing. Authorities said the Tahoe went around the crossing arm and was hit on the driver’s side by the train.
None of the passengers on the train were injured, authorities said.
