2 teen brothers killed in train collision
TIFTON, Ga. (AP) — Two Tift County teen brothers died and a third was in fair condition after a train struck their car Sunday.
Killed were 17-year-old Austin Dawson and 15-year-old Alton Dawson Jr. Tift Regional Medical Center officials say 17-year-old Alex Dawson — Austin’s twin brother — is recovering.
Georgia State Patrol say Alex was driving a 1994 Nissan Sentra along Golden Road when the group came to a railroad crossing. The cross bar was down but police say the car went around the bar and was struck on the left passenger side by a northbound train.
