Police said the cause of the crash, which happened near midday in the northern tip of Idaho, was the car driver's failure "to yield the right of way" to a freight train. The two deceased adults were 37-years-old and 31-years-old. All four were wearing seatbelts, police said.
The freight train operators were not harmed and police said the incident remains under investigation.
