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.
