AUSTIN, Ind. (AP) - Indiana State Police announced an investigation Sunday into a crash between a train and a car that left one person dead and two others seriously injured in Scott County.

The collision happened Saturday around 5 p.m. between a northbound CSX train and a 2005 Nissan traveling westbound in Austin, authorities said.

Twenty-two-year-old Stephanie R. Trabue of Scottsburg was pronounced dead at the scene by the county coroner. Two other passengers in the vehicle, including a juvenile, were flown to a hospital for possible life-threatening injuries.
