STUTTGART, Ark. (AP) - A woman eating from a bowl and talking on a cell phone walked past a railroad crossing gate and into the path of a freight train, police said Monday. She died later died from her injuries.
Investigators suspect the death was accident but have subpoenaed the woman's cell phone records to find out who she was talking to. "She wasn't paying attention," Lt. Mark Duke said.
A witness saw the Sunday afternoon accident and told police the woman "was eating from a bowl and talking on a cell phone when struck," Duke said. Duke said crossing gates block cars from entering the intersection but that the woman went past them.
