A 71-year-old Antioch man whose wife and grandson were killed when the car he was driving crashed into a train in December now faces two reckless homicide charges.
Authorities identified the 13-year-old boy and 75-year-old woman who were were killed Sunday when the car they were riding in was hit by a Metra train near Ingleside and confirmed they were grandmother and grandson.
The crossing's warning lights and gates lowered prior to a westbound train crossing the roadway, the sheriff's office said. The Elantra did not slow down and drove through the gate, directly in the path of the train.
