Train Hits Woman in Ames

Ames Police are trying to find out why a woman crossed the tracks, in a wheelchair, with an oncoming train speeding towards her. It happened just before 11-o'clock on Sunday. Police say that witnesses reported seeing a woman crossing the train tracks on Duff Avenue in Ames, before she was struck and killed by an eastbound, Union Pacific train. Officials are still trying to figure out who she was. It's the first time someon has been hit since new "quiet" zones were put in place at six Ames crossings in December.
