Rebecca Woodard's SUV was hit by a train at a Kansas City Southern Railway Crossing in Doyline, Louisiana.
A Louisiana woman who died after being struck by a train has been hailed as a hero, as she had been trying to rescue her 2-year-old grandchild at the time.
A preliminary investigation revealed the 51-year-old's vehicle—identified as a 1997 Chevrolet Blazer—had stalled at a railroad crossing while traveling south on Louisiana Highway 163. She told the older grandchild to run while she tried to get the younger grandchild out of the vehicle, Doyline Police Chief Robert Hayden told KTBS-TV.
Hardy said a toxicology sample was obtained from Woodard and will be submitted for analysis. The crash remains under investigation, he added.

Amazon Institutes New ‘Hero Tax’ Charging Essential Workers Additional $2 Per Hour For Honor Of Bravely Performing JobSEATTLE—Calling it a “beautiful tribute” to the men and women who put their lives on the line every single day, Amazon instituted a new “hero tax” Tuesday, charging essential workers an additional $2 per hour for the honor of bravely performing their jobs. “Starting today, each and every hard-working, essential warehouse worker will receive a revised paycheck, which will include a small, complimentary deduction from Amazon for generously giving them this opportunity,” said company spokesperson Janice Fischer, adding that they could not be more proud of workers for making these vital monetary sacrifices during this challenging time. “In the last several weeks, we’ve seen thousands of employees called ‘brave, selfless heroes’ over and over again, and we here at Amazon want to remind them that respect like that doesn’t just come for free. It is a great privilege for employees to risk their health and well-being. That’s why, should any of our workers fall ill on the job, we’ll be deducting their entire paycheck.” At press time, Amazon announced they had opted to make their generous “hero tax” permanent.
