Tragic train accident in Williams

We are not sure of the circumstances of the accident.

WILLIAMS — Tragedy struck Williams, today, as apparently a young girl was struck by a train on Grand Canyon Boulevard at about 3:30 p.m. this afternoon. The crossings at 7th Street and Grand Canyon Boulevard have been blocked since that time. The only way to get from the north to the south side is Rodeo Road. It is difficult to tell how long the blockage will last.

We are not sure of the condition of the injured person. Mayor John Moore was on scene, according to witnesses, trying to comfort a friend of the victim and was later directing traffic away from the accident.

  1. The girls family was ziplining and she got mad at her family, ran down the stairs and ran on to the track. Being hit was a terrible tragedy.

      • Please tell me what really happened! I am a friend of the children’s father, his new wife is by best friend.. we heard the 3 children saw what happened to their Mom!

        • From what we understand, the family tried to beat the train at the crossing and the mother did not make it.
