Garden County Graduate Killed in Train-Truck Collision
ODESSA, Neb. (AP) - The accident occurred about 8:40 p.m. Wednesday when the Kansas-bound coal train struck the pickup.
Buffalo County Attorney Shawn Eatherton on Thursday identified the victim as Jimmy Ray Barnett. Barnett's hometown has not been verified. However, we were able to verifty that Barnett was a 2011 Garden County graduate.
Eatherton says an autopsy has been ordered.
Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis says no one on the train was injured and there was no derailment of the three locomotives and 123 cars full of coal.
Davis says the crossing had white X markings and stop signs but no gates or flashing lights.
