He said Brody, a jewelry store saleswoman, had been on her way to meet a client at the time and was unfamiliar with the neighborhood in Valhalla where the crash occurred.
“Somehow she ended up in this strange and unfamiliar place,” said Alan Brody, a native of Durban, South Africa. “I once drove there in that area two years ago, and I remember thinking, ‘This looks like my old home in Africa,’ and I was also thinking, ‘Are you kidding me? Who could imagine a major commuter railroad running through this? How could it?’”

At least 7 dead, multiple injuries after Jeep, train collide in Valhalla
[From article]
At least seven people were killed Tuesday after a Metro-North commuter train struck a car just north of the train station, according to officials.
At least 12 others were said to be injured in the crash.
Aaron Donovan, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, had said earlier the victims included the driver of the car, a woman who was outside of her vehicle when the crash occurred, and five people on board the train. But later Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino tweeted that there were at least seven people killed.
The fiery scene began to unfold about 6:30 p.m. when the Harlem Line train out of Grand Central Terminal struck the black Jeep Cherokee at the narrow, two-lane Commerce Street crossing, causing an explosion that engulfed both the car and the train.
