Boise, Dec 10 - AP - The Guy Powell family of Buhl, Idaho, was wiped out as the result of an accident late Saturday when an east-bound train crashed into the truck Powell was driving at a crossing near Filer.
Guy Powell was killed instantly, Mrs. Powell died Sunday morning at a Twin Falls hospital and Powell's 5-year-old step-daughter, Catherine Andreen succumbed Saturday night in a Twin Falls hospital three hours after the accident.
