Amtrak train crashes into SUV in Vermont, leaving driver dead and passenger injured

Last week, a passenger train that departed from Washington, D.C., struck an SUV in Vernon, Vermont. The incident caused the death of the SUV driver.

An Amtrak passenger train crashed into an SUV in southeastern Vermont, killing the SUV's driver and injuring his passenger, authorities said.

The state police said 53-year-old Craig Hudson, of Brattleboro, died in the crash Friday in Vernon, a town of about 2,000 people that borders New Hampshire and Massachusetts. His passenger, 47-year-old Shenandoah Gilbert, of Vernon, was being treated for injuries at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire.

No one was hurt on the train, which continued its route after a delay, authorities said.
