Several cars on an Amtrak train derailed in northern Missouri on Monday after hitting a dump truck at a crossing, with reports of injuries among its approximately 243 passengers, the U.S. national passenger railroad service said in a statement.
The train hit the vehicle at a public crossing in Mendon, Missouri, at 1:42 p.m. as it was traveling from Los Angeles to Chicago, Amtrak said. Three patients were being taken to a University of Missouri Health Care hospital in Columbia, Missouri, about 90 miles away, a hospital spokesman said.Eight air ambulances responded and authorities were treating it as a mass casualty incident, a Washington Post reporter wrote on Twitter.
"We ask Missourians to join us in praying for all those impacted," Missouri Governor Mike Parson said on Twitter. A passenger on the train, Robert Nightingale, told CNN that all the cars "were knocked over, except the main engine.""I could feel the tracks go back and forth, back and forth, and then it started to go, to tumble on my side of the road," he said."There were ambulances all over, they were bringing stretchers to the train, and now there are stretchers here at the school," he said.
