A woman aged 33 dies following a collision between a train and a car at a level crossing, and her family is paying tribute to her. British Transport Police says the incident is being treated as a potential criminal matter, and it has launched a “criminal investigation” to determine what caused the crash, according to an update issued on Friday evening. An eight-year-old girl who was involved in the incident remains in critical condition.

The reports focus on the family’s response to the death and on the police action taken to establish the circumstances of the collision. The sources do not provide additional details about the location, the train’s route, or the sequence of events beyond the fact that a train and a car collide at a level crossing. Police investigation is ongoing, and further information is expected as inquiries continue.
