Fourth victim dies in private crossing crash south of Corry
A four-vehicle wreck on a private private railroad crossing seven miles south of Corry claimed the lives of Bernard Williams 98 Mrs Kathleen Conklin 1 and her children Carol Ann 3 and Donald David Contain in a tragedy witnessed only by two railroad workers. Williams died at Corry Memorial Hospital from internal injuries, Conklin and her baby died en route or shortly after arrival, and Carol Ann died after admission due to skull fractures. The crash occurred as a diesel train struck a 1939 Dodge sedan sending bodies along a snow embanked slope. Investigating officers doubt the car occupants saw the train as the crossing lies on a private Burlingame farm road near Stranahan Corners. The crossing may have been used as a shortcut between Route 4 and Stranahan Corners. The train was moving 30 to 34 mph at impact, well above the standard 40 mph limit on that track.
