• MARYSVILLE, Calif. (AP) -- A Northern California town was reeling Saturday after learning that a teenage boy was killed and a teenage girl was seriously injured after they were hit by a freight train while walking to a Sadie Hawkins Day dance.
• The accident Friday evening occurred near Marysville's only high school and a little league park where a game was being played.
• Investigators told KCRA-TV the teens were walking southbound on the tracks -- the same direction as the train.
• Relatives told the station the 16-year-old girl, Mickayla Friend, and her boyfriend had planned to take a short walk to the Dollar Tree store to buy some food before heading to the dance at their school.
• "It's her first boyfriend, and her first love," Alithya Friend said. "And she just got it taken away from her in an instant."
