Park Service identifies train accident victim

The National Park Service has identified the woman struck and killed by a train earlier this week near the Fayette-Summers county line.

Authorities say Chandra Turner, 49, of Louisville, Ky., was walking the tracks during a rainstorm in the Meadow Creek area. Engineers on a CSX train tried to warn her but she didn’t move in time.

Investigators say Turner was walking the tracks with a blanket over her head during the storm.
