A tragic car and train collision in Bonner County, Idaho has claimed the lives of a family, with one miraculous survivor. According to Idaho State Police (ISP), the Shubin family was traveling across a railroad crossing on Saturday, July 15 when their car was struck by a train. Mickey Shubin, 37, Akasha Shubin, 31, and their son Jonathan Shubin tragically lost their lives in the crash.
The only member of the family found alive was baby Charlotte Lynn. ISP arrived at the scene shortly after the incident and conducted an investigation into what transpired. The initial findings revealed that the driver of a Subaru Forester was traveling eastbound on W. Selle Rd from Boyer Rd. Unfortunately, the Subaru failed to yield to a southbound freight train resulting in impact that forced it off the roadway causing it to overturn.
The occupants of the vehicle included a 37-year-old male driver from Sagle, ID; a 31-year-old female also from Sagle; and two juveniles. All individuals were wearing seatbelts but sadly both adults and one juvenile were pronounced deceased at the scene.
One juvenile survived but had to be transported via ground ambulance to a nearby hospital before being transferred to Spokane Hospital in Washington via Life Flight for further treatment. Thankfully, no injuries were reported among those operating the freight train.
Idaho State Police are currently continuing their investigation into this devastating crash as they work towards uncovering more details surrounding its cause.
