A train and vehicle collision has left one person dead, according to Henderson County Sheriff Chip Stauffer.
He said the collision occurred at about 4:15 p.m. on Anthoston Frog Island Road.
Stauffer, in an interview about an hour later, said he had four deputy units at the wreck, and a reconstructionist was working the scene.
Other media reports say more emergency vehicles responded.
Stauffer said he didn’t know the name or gender of the person who died.
But he did say that it was on the same stretch of tracks that two men died in a train versus vehicle collision in October. That was confirmed by others who farm nearby, who say Monday’s collision occurred about a mile north of the October collision near Cherry Hill and Busby Station roads.
In that accident that occurred on Oct. 14, 2025, father and son Basten Johnson, 60, and Basi Johnson, 35, both of Orlanda, Fla., were pronounced dead at the scene by the Henderson County Coroner after the crash that occurred at 6:40 a.m., said a release from the sheriff’s office.
Stauffer also said there was another accident on the set of tracks within the last year when a man was crossing the tracks on foot and was hit by a train. He said that one occurred near Happy Acres subdivision.
There are no warning lights or crossing arms at the intersections.
