Train crash in Stone County kills Kristina Carver and daughters

STONE, MS, (March 27, 2026) – A mother and her two daughters were among five people killed Friday afternoon in a train crash in Stone County, authorities said.

According to the Stone County Sheriff’s Department, a van collided with a train at approximately 1 p.m. on Pump Branch Road near Highway 49.

The victims were identified as 45-year-old Kristina Carver, and her daughters, 22-year-old Emley Chamblee and 20-year-old Sarabeth Chamblee. Two other individuals in the van also died.

A sixth person was airlifted to a hospital in New Orleans for treatment. The investigation remains ongoing.

Incident Location


TRAIN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Train-related accidents such as this can occur due to several factors, including operator error, track failure, mechanical malfunctions, signal issues, or reckless actions.

According to the National Transportation Safety Bureau (NTSB), approximately 950 fatalities and more than 6,500 injuries occur each year in train accidents.

Candice Bond, an experienced train accident attorney, emphasized that in incidents like this, it is important to have an independent investigation conducted promptly by a qualified attorney to preserve evidence for the victim’s family.

“A skilled attorney can help protect grieving families from large rail companies, which often send their own investigators to crash sites and have significant resources to defend against liability,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Each case is different and must be thoroughly examined. Time is critical, and families must ensure that evidence is reviewed promptly and effectively.”


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Kristina Carver, Emley Chamblee, and Sarabeth Chamblee may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic accident.

“The emotional impact of losing a loved one in an accident can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the hardships families endure, and protecting their rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will stay informed on the investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
