Purdue University's train mascot, The Boilermaker Special, was involved in a fatal crash on Thursday afternoon in Tippecanoe County, Indiana.

The Purdue Boilermaker Special was involved in a collision with another car. Officials said the other car's driver was killed.

The Boilermaker Special, a vehicle made to look like a vintage train that serves as one of Purdue University’s mascots, was involved in a fatal highway crash this week that killed one person and injured two others.
