Two women were killed in a train accident Thursday morning. The victims were 18 and 23 years old. The woman were driving in a car when it became stuck on the train tracks in Riverside. The two victims were able to exit the car, but the train then hit the car which then ran into the women, crushing them.

Police believe the high heel shoes they were wearing many have hindered their escape from a car stuck on the tracks, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The high heels they were wearing may have made it harder for them to run on the gravel and slowed their departure, also they probably didn't have much warning before the collision. The women have not been identified yet.
