Official says there are multiple fatalities and at least 50 injuries from an Amtrak train derailment after it hit a dump truck in Missouri.
From CNN’s Amanda Musa
The train was traveling from Los Angeles to Chicago when it apparently struck a dump truck at a public crossing. “I was in my sleeper and I was dozing off. The train was running a bit late so I decided to take a nap before my lunch reservation.” Nightingale said. “And then everything started to go in slow motion. Like I could feel the tracks go back and forth, back and forth.”
