The three people killed late Sunday night when the vehicle they were in was hit by an Amtrak train in Mansfield were in their 20s and lived in towns within several miles of the collision, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation said Tuesday. The official, who could not speak publicly because of the sensitivity of the probe, said the victims were from Foxborough, Raynham, and North Attleborough. Officials are withholding the names of the two men and woman, while the state medical examiner confirms their identities, said Gregg Miliote, a spokesman for District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter.
