Two die in train collision

Posted on January 2, 2010 by Staff

An Amtrak train heading from Charlotte to New York collided with a car Tuesday morning at a railroad crossing in Efland, killing two people.

Erin Brett Lindsay-Calkins was driving the car, and she and her 5-year-old son, Nicholas Lindsay, who was thrown from the back seat, were killed.

Four-month-old Avan Brooke Lindsay, found in the back seat of the car by an Efland resident who heard the crash, was taken to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill. She was treated for a contusion on her forehead and on Wednesday was listed in fair condition.

None of the 215 passengers on the train were hurt.
