Speed, but no cell phones behind deadly Amtrak derailment
It wasn’t distracted driving that caused last month’s fatal Amtrak derailment in Washington State, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which has released preliminary details in what is expected to be a lengthy investigation. Exactly what did cause the accident has yet to be determined.
The Dec. 18, 2017 derailment of the Amtrak Cascades passenger train in DuPont killed three people and injured 80 more.
