Description
An Amtrak train carrying nearly 200 passengers bound for Seattle struck a truck and derailed on Wednesday in southern California but there were no major injuries, authorities said.
Three of the train’s seven cars went off the tracks following the collision in Moorpark, said Ventura County Fire Department Captain Brian McGrath. Eight people were transported to hospitals — seven with minor injuries and one with moderate injuries, the fire department said on Twitter.
Parts of the demolished truck remained on the tracks after the crash, while other parts lay near the derailed train cars. The truck’s driver, who was among those taken to hospitals, apparently got out of the vehicle before the crash, McGrath said.
