BRUNSWICK, Ohio (AP) — New caution signs have been posted near a railroad crossing in northeast Ohio where a car crash killed four teenagers.

WEWS-TV in Cleveland reports (http://bit.ly/K6NTeB ) that engineers from nearby counties made the decision to put up the high-visibility crossing signs to alert drivers to the rough railroad crossing.

Columbia Station Trustee Mike Musto says the engineers also lowered the recommended speed limit to 25 mph from 55 mph.

A car carrying the teenagers went airborne, crashed and flipped onto its roof at a railroad crossing early Sunday. Two of the deceased had been scheduled to graduate from Brunswick High School later that day.

One 17-year-old girl who survived the crash was released from the hospital earlier this week.

Funerals for the students who died were scheduled Friday and Saturday.
