One person died after an Amtrak train crashed into an SUV in Tangipahoa Parish.
Officials said that nobody on the train was hurt, but both people in the SUV were injured. They were both taken to the hospital by AirMed, where one of them died.
The crash happened south of Amite and north of Independence with the train headed to New Orleans from Chicago.
This incident comes less than a week after an Amtrak train crashed into an 18-wheeler carrying gravel, less than a mile away. A train engineer was taken to the hospital after that crash.
