Vermilion County Coroner Jane McFadden says an investigation continues by her office and Hoopeston Police into a fatal train-pedestrian accident early Monday (September 21, 2020).
The Coroner identified the victim as 49-year-old Jodi L. Tyszko of Hoopeston. She died after being hit by a train at the Lincoln Street crossing around 5:45 Monday morning.
All of the city’s railroad crossings south of Thompson Street were closed for about two hours as police searched the scene.
