yeah some eldery person got killed in the train wreck near Germantown, on a private road off Route 161
heard about it while checking my cell phone at work during my break.
there was a bad wreck on IL 127 south of Nashville this afternoon that killed one person as well. I been checking in on KFVS and WSIL on more information but I know about it was just north of the Washington/Perry County line and it involved a state trooper and 5 other vehicles. Only local traffic was being allowed on IL 127 south of Nashville and it will be like this throughout this evening.
