A Georgia woman and her child have each lost a limb after they crawled under a stopped train and it suddenly started moving.
Kate Brown, 28, and her one-year-old son had emergency surgery after her leg and his arm were pinned under the Norfolk Southern freight train on Thursday afternoon in Clayton County, south of Atlanta, according to NBC 11.
Neither limb could be saved.
Police were called to the scene at around 3pm after a woman called in reporting that Brown and the child were stuck under the train. When they arrived, they found her and the one-year-old suffering from severe injuries, and her two other children helplessly standing nearby.

Brown and her three children were allegedly heading home along Old Dixie Highway when they came across a train stopped on the tracks. Police say the mom tried to crawl underneath it while holding the baby to get past it, but the train started moving, with her leg and her one-year-old’s arm under it, as reported by NBC11.
Her two other children made it across the tracks by crawling underneath before Brown and the one-year-old did.
No charges are expected at this point, according to police.
The unharmed children are now in the care of their father, who responded to the scene, per NBC11.
