NTSB to investigate Amtrak-truck accident involving GOP lawmakers
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has sent a full go-team to Crozet, VA to investigate yesterday’s grade-crossing accident involving an Amtrak passenger train and a truck.
The chartered train, which was carrying Republican lawmakers headed to a retreat in West Virginia, collided with what news sources say was a garbage truck. One person associated with the truck was killed and another critically injured. Amtrak said in a statement that two of the train’s crew members and three passengers were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
