Amtrak Train Strikes and Kills Three Family Members in Bucks County

The fatal collision, the second in the area this week, has prompted ongoing investigations and disrupted rail services between Philadelphia and New York.

Three family members were killed on Thursday evening after being struck by an Amtrak Acela high-speed train near Bristol Station in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
The collision occurred around 6:00 p.m. near Prospect and Beaver Streets, as the train traveled southbound from Boston to Richmond, Virginia.
This marks the second fatal pedestrian collision involving an Amtrak train in Bucks County within the same week, following a similar incident near Cornwells Heights Station on Wednesday.
Train services between Philadelphia and New York were temporarily suspended but have since resumed with restricted speeds and residual delays.
Amtrak and the Bristol Borough Police Department are conducting an investigation into the incident, with the identities of the victims yet to be released.
