FREMONT, Ohio (WJW) – A tragic incident unfolded in Fremont as two individuals lost their lives, and a child is missing following a train accident that struck multiple pedestrians on Sunday evening, according to local authorities. Emergency responders are currently present at the location.

Mayor Danny Sanchez told FOX 8 News crews at the scene that a family was in town from Fort Wayne, Indiana, on a fishing trip at the Sandusky River.

The two people who died were a 58-year-old woman and a 38-year-old woman, believed to be mother and daughter, Sanchez said.

Search efforts are concentrated on locating a missing 5-year-old child in the river. Another child, approximately 14 months old, has been transported to a hospital in Toledo, as reported by Sanchez. The condition of this child remains uncertain at this time.
