SALT LAKE CITY (AP) _ Police have identified two people killed
after their car apparently veered around a railroad crossing arm
and collided with a light-rail train near Salt Lake City.

Unified Police Lt. Don Hutson says the 21-year-old driver, Alex
Amundson of Fairview, and a rear passenger, 18-year-old Donald
Callison of Monroe, were killed in the wreck Thursday night. Two
other passengers, an 18-year-old female from Salt Lake County and a
19-year-old male from Vernal, remained hospitalized Friday.

Hutson says all four were KFC shift managers in town for a
business seminar.

Investigators believe the train was traveling around 50 mph when
it hit the Chevy Aveo in South Salt Lake. The car was pushed about
300 feet down the track.

None of the 60 to 80 passengers on the train was injured.
