Four people died on Wednesday in a south Chicago suburb after an SUV struck the last rail car of a moving freight train at a crossing and engulfed.

The Dodge Durango hit the CSX train about 2 a.m. at a crossing on the east side of Harvey, a south suburban community after which the four occupants of the vehicle were killed.

The identities of the victims were not released yet.

There were no injuries to the train crew.

Officials in Phoenix, a Cook County village just east of Harvey, were notified of the incident by a passerby that a vehicle was on fire.

It is unclear whether or where the train stopped after the collision.
