PunkTheFunk 125,715 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Washington train crash: Deaths as rail carriages fall on US motorway Train carriages have plummeted on to a motorway in Washington state, causing "multiple" fatalities, police say. The train derailed and the carriages fell on to the I-5 highway below. Images from the scene show emergency services treating people on the ground. It appears that at least four carriages have left the track; one of them is upside down on the highway. Several cars on the highway were struck by the derailed carriages, the Pierce County Sheriff's department says. Sheriff department spokesman Ed Troyer has told local media that there are fatalities and people still trapped on the train. Among motorists caught up in the incident there were a number of people injured but no one killed, the department said. The incident happened near DuPont, which is southwest of Tacoma. The crash occurred around 07:30 (15:30 GMT), about 45 minutes into train 501's journey between Portland and Seattle. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42401707 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
