SAVANNAH — The father of a young woman killed by a train on the set of a movie about Gregg Allman said Thursday the family is suing the singer and filmmakers as part of a "wake-up call" to make Hollywood safer. Sarah Jones' parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit Wednesday against the Allman Brothers Band singer and producers of the film "Midnight Rider." The 27-year-old camera assistant died Feb. 20 when a freight train slammed into the crew during shooting on a railroad bridge in southeast Georgia.
