WALNUT HILL, Ill. – Three people were killed Sunday when their car was hit by a Norfolk Southern freight train near Centralia in southern Illinois.

A railroad spokesman says the car was in the railroad crossing and the 42-car train wasn't able to stop in time.

The car was dragged about half a mile.

The train was traveling from Princeton, Indiana to Granite City, Illinois.
