An Amarillo woman died Friday night, May 21, when the car she was driving was struck by a train west of Clarendon.
Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Cindy Barley reported that Jennifer Bentley, age 35, was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Pat White.
Bentley was driving a 2013 Chevrolet Impala at about 11:00 p.m. and was southbound on CR 8 when she traveled onto the railroad tracks in the path of an approaching train. The Impala was struck on the passenger side by the train and was thrust to the northeast side of the railroad tracks.
Bentley’s passenger, Armondo Elizondo, 41, of Wichita Falls, was transported to Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo with serious injuries where he was reported in critical condition.
Neither Bentley nor Elizondo were wearing seatbelts, Barkley reported.
