The Sacramento County Coroner's office released the names of two adults killed Saturday afternoon when a light-rail train collided with their sports-utility vehicle in south Sacramento.
Louis Leon Williams, 62, and Shante Hope Williams, 25, were killed in what Regional Transit officials said was possibly the worst light-rail accident in the system's 25-year history.
On Sunday, the Coroner's office identified 22-month old Damian Antiwon Williams as the toddler killed in the collision. A fourth person in the SUV suffered serious injuries and was taken to a local hospital, police said.
Domonick Williams identified the injured woman as his mother, Demetric Deann Good Williams, 57. Domonick Williams' father, sister and son, Damian, were killed in the collision.
The train, carrying about 50 passengers, was southbound on the Meadowview line at 4:10 p.m. when it hit the SUV on 26th Avenue and pushed it 20 yards. The train stayed on the tracks, but the SUV flipped upside down, said Sgt. Andrew Pettit, Sacramento police spokesman.
Investigators looked at video and other evidence from the crash site and confirmed initial reports - that the driver of the SUV drove around a 26th Avenue crossing arm just before the vehicle was hit broadside by the Sacramento Regional Transit train, police said Sunday.
