Quote:Amtrak: "Some injuries reported"
Amtrak just released a statement, saying it was aware of the crash and "some injuries are reported." It also added that it has shut down all service south of Seattle.
Here's the statement:
"Amtrak is aware of an incident with Train 501, Cascades service from Seattle to Portland. Emergency services are on the scene and Amtrak management is responding. Some injuries are reported. Amtrak service south of Seattle is temporarily suspended. Service from Seattle to points north and east is continuing to operate. Amtrak regrets any inconvenience. This information is correct as of the above time and date. Information is subject to change as conditions warrant."
Now they are saying on CNN there are some casualties being reported.
