Police: 2 killed when commuter train hits SUV in Florida

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say two people are dead after their SUV was struck by a high-speed commuter train in South Florida. Police say the crash occurred Wednesday night in Delray Beach, south of West Palm Beach. Witnesses told officers the vehicle was on the tracks when it was hit by the southbound Brightline train. The National Transportation Safety Board announced that it was launching a team to conduct a safety investigation of the crash.
