An Ulster County woman and her dog were killed when they were struck by an Amtrak train Sunday afternoon.

State police say it happened just north of the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge.

An investigation determined that 36-year-old Carrie Gemmell, of Kingston, was attempting to get her dog, which had gotten loose, when they were struck by a train heading south.

Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

The Dutchess County Emergency Response team and the Mobile Crisis team assisted on the scene.
