Police: Car bypassed crossing arm before fatal train crash.

Cary Police say a car that was struck by an Amtrak train Thursday may have bypassed the crossing arm at the intersection of Maynard Road and Old Apex Road.

A woman was killed and a man injured Thursday morning when an Amtrak passenger train hit a car at a rail crossing in Cary, officials said.

The collision occurred shortly before 11:30 a.m. at a Maynard Road crossing near Old Apex Road.

The Cary Police Department said it appears that Benny Derrick Dimery tried to drive around the lowered crossing arm, and his car was on the track when the northbound Amtrak Silver Star train hit it at about 50 mph.

Dimery, 24, of Laurinburg, was taken to WakeMed for treatment, but his condition was unknown.

His girlfriend, Lauren Webb, 22, also of Laurinburg, was pronounced dead at the scene.

None of the 291 people aboard the Silver Star, which was heading from Miami to New York, was injured, officials said.

Officials closed SW Maynard Road to traffic from Old Apex Road to West Chatham Street for more than three hours during the investigation.
