Two people are dead after a train hit a car when it passed through the guard rails. It happened around 2 a.m. Friday morning at the tracks on College St.

Police say the train dragged the car three or four blocks to Gilmer Street before the vehicle fell off the tracks.

The train didn't come to a complete stop until another three or four blocks, on Fort Hood St.

Both 26-year-old victims were pronounced dead at the scene. A man was driving and a woman was in the passenger's seat.

The train conductor was not hurt. He called police when the accident happened.

It took four hours to clean up the accident and inspect the train before it could be moved out of the way.

Roads in the area were closed for a couple hours but they are now reopened.
