GOP members were thrown from their seats but appear to be otherwise uninjured at first report, drivers of the garbage truck not so lucky, being helped by GOP members who are doctors.
Via Fox News:
A train carrying members of Congress to a Republican retreat in West Virginia has been involved in an accident, after apparently striking a dump truck and derailing.
The truck may have been stuck on the tracks.
Some members were thrown from their seats, Fox News is told.
The accident took place in Crozet, Va., near Charlottesville, Va. Members were on a special chartered Amtrak train to the Greenbrier resort.
The nature of any injuries is unclear. Fox News is told no GOP members or family members were injured, though Rep. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., tweeted that he was helping the injured.
Update:
Sen. Bill Cassidy reports one person straddling the dump truck has died, two others injured. The GOP members on the train are all reportedly okay, no one seriously hurt on the train.
