  Didn't know there were 3 in the garbage truck but I figured the person in it would die .That looked horrible. This could have been a lot worse even tho its bad when even one dies,. When the truck stalled on the track or whatever the reason was it was on the  track  I sure would have left the truck .

A train carrying Republican members of Congress to an annual retreat hit a garbage truck in Virginia on Wednesday. The Amtrak train, which was en route to West Virginia from Washington, D.C., collided with the truck west of Crozet, Va., at approximately 11:20 a.m. ET.., an Amtrak official told Yahoo News.
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., one of the GOP lawmakers who was on the train, told CNN that one person in the truck was killed and two others were injured. One was airlifted from the scene, Flake said, and he and other lawmakers and emergency personnel carried the other to an ambulance.
"Local law enforcement is investigating the incident and crews are inspecting equipment for damage," the Amtrak spokesperson said.
Flake said some members may have suffered minor injuries, but none appeared to be serious.

There were 3 people in the truck that was straddling the track and which the train hit. One is dead. One I am told is being transported but has minor injuries. One has serious injuries—please pray. Laura & I & multiple other physicians tended to the patients until EMTs showed up. https://twitter.com/billcassidy/status/958745389909278722 …
NOW: Amtrak train collides with garbage truck in Crozet.. Nurse on scene reports at least one fatality and at least one in critical condition. NBC29 is on scene and will bring you more details as we get them.

"The train carrying GOP members to our retreat had a collision, but Rebecca and I are both okay," Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-Ala., wrote on Twitter. "Security and doctors on board are helping secure the scene and treat injuries."
On social media, several lawmakers and local news outlets shared photos of the scene.
At the White House, press secretary Sarah Sanders said President Trump had been "fully briefed" on the situation in Virginia.
"There is one confirmed fatality and one serious injury," Sanders said in a statement. "There are no serious injuries among members of Congress or their staff. Senior administration officials are in regular contact with Amtrak and state and local authorities. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone that has been affected by this incident."
Trump is scheduled to attend the three-day retreat at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., on Thursday.
