Woman, Baby Killed At Metra Train Crossing

A woman and a 1-year-old baby she was carrying were killed Saturday morning when they reportedly crossed in front of an incoming train at a North Chicago Metra station.

The woman was the girl's godmother, according to police. She had been carrying the toddler and was crossing from a parking lot over to the station.

Witnesses reported the warning lights and whistles were sounding when the pair were struck about 8:50 a.m. The train had not been scheduled to stop at the North Chicago station.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene and the baby was pronounced dead a few hours later at a nearby hospital.
