LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Authorities say two people killed and two others who were injured when a train struck a car in Louisville were students.

Jefferson County Public Schools spokesman Ben Jackey told media that all four were students. He said resources are being made available on Monday to students and staff at affected schools.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office said 19-year-old Suk Man Rai and 16-year-old Chita Chuwan died at the scene Saturday of blunt force injuries from the crash. The coroner’s office said both were passengers in the car.

Police have said the car was hit after disregarding the train signal.

Officials say the two people who were injured were taken to University Hospital and are listed in critical condition. Their names weren’t released.
