Trains Crash in Michigan Kill 26 Passengers
A head on collision on the Grand Trunk railroad near Battle Creek Michigan on Friday morning kills 26 passengers and injures many more. The Raymond and Whitcomb special and the Pacific west bound train failed to clear a siding after the engineer ignored orders. Identification is impossible for most bodies with several unrecognizable in the morgue. Firefighters and officials work to aid survivors and investigate the disaster.
