At around 8pm, lawmakers responded to a scene where a train struck a vehicle on the 12900 Beaumont motorway in Van Hut Lane. An Amtrak 1 train was traveling from New Orleans to Los Angeles when a Chrysler 300 overturned a vehicle on the train line and collided with the train about 12 miles from Houston Station, according to authorities. More than 80 passengers were on the train but were not life-threatening, Amtrak said. A man and a woman died on the scene after being thrown by Chrysler, which caught fire, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
