Hi, It's not correct because you have a plural subject followed by a verb in the third singular person. (By the way, did you really want the simple present, or is it a typo? ) Besides, the repetition of witness is awkward.

Hi,
It's not correct because you have a plural subject followed by a verb in the third singular person. (By the way, did you really want the simple present, or is it a typo? "s" and "d" keys are close to each other in my keyboard...)
Besides, the repetition of witness is awkward. How about these?
Two people witnessed the train accident.
