Robert Hungerford of the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office said the crash happened on Moncrief Road near Restlawn Drive at about 6:30 a.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Hungerford said the woman, who was in her mid-30s, was traveling eastbound in a Jeep SUV when a southbound Amtrak train struck the vehicle as she crossed the tracks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Hungerford said the investigation shows the woman likely drove around the crossing arms, which had come down as the train approached. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">The woman died at the scene.
