BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) _ Two women face criminal charges after being caught on video surviving a close call with a freight train as they walked across a trestle 80 feet high in southern Indiana.
Prosecutors filed misdemeanor railroad trespassing charges Monday against 37-year-old Stacey June Smith of Bloomington and 34-year-old Wendy Gayle Timothy of Pensacola, Florida.
A video shows the two women lying on the tracks as the trained passed over them July 10 on the bridge over Lake Lemon northeast of Bloomington.
The Herald-Times reports the two will be summoned to appear in court. If convicted, they could face six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Court records showed neither had an attorney. A telephone message seeking comment was left for Timothy. Smith doesn't have a published telephone listing.
