Around 12:30 AM today an AMTRAK train collided with a car in Mansfield Massachusetts. Follow up news later today showed the area under investigation was not a grade crossing but rather a long stretch of track through a wooded non built up area. Report stated the car was driving on the tracks at the time of contact. No injuries to train crew or passengers. All 3 occupants of the car were killed. This is along the electrified route of the Northeast Regional from Boston to Washington DC approx. 1/2 way between Boston and Providence RI.
