CACHE COUNTY, Utah — A man was killed Wednesday after being struck by a train in rural Cache County, officials said.
According to the Cache County Sheriff's Office, the man was driving near 14300 North on State Route 23 at approximately 1:30 p.m. when the vehicle he was driving was struck by the train.
The rural crossing does not have any bars that lower when trains approach.
Two other vehicles were able to make it across the crossing before the train arrived, but the third vehicle was hit.
No one else was in the vehicle that was struck other than the driver who died.
The victim was later identified as 40-year-old Jacob Pratt, a resident of Logan.
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help his family.
"Jacob was loved by so many and left a lasting impact on everyone he met. His warmth, kindness, and generosity will never be forgotten," the fundraiser's organizer wrote.
