Three family members in Pennsylvania are dead after being struck by a train Thursday near Philadelphia. 

During a news conference, Bristol Borough Police Chief Joe Moors reported that three adults were tragically killed by an Amtrak train on its route from Boston, Mass., to Richmond, Va.

Moors confirmed to Fox News Digital they were all related.

Police were called to an area near the tracks at about 6 p.m. after receiving reports of people on the tracks.

As an officer was walking toward the people at about 6:10 p.m., the train hit and killed them, Moors said.

Officials told Fox News Digital it appeared the three people heard the train and could not get off the tracks in time.

They were all hit at the same time.

There were no reported injuries to the 236 passengers or crew onboard, an Amtrak spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

No officers were injured in the crash.

“Amtrak is working with the Bristol Borough Police Department to investigate the incident,” the spokesperson said.
