A Fairview Heights woman whose husband died when an Amtrak train the pair were traveling in derailed last weekend is suing the company, calling her husband’s death a “preventable tragedy.”
A wrongful death lawsuit was filed in Chicago Tuesday on behalf of Rebecca Schneider and her husband Zach by a Philadelphia-based law firm, according to court records. Zach was killed when the Amtrak train derailed while traveling through Montana. Rebecca was injured in the crash.
