Amtrak Riders, Crew Members Released From Hospital After Crash
Posted on: Monday, 8 August 2005, 15:00 CDT
All 18 Amtrak passengers and crew members taken to hospitals after their train collided with a dump truck had been released by Saturday morning, officials said.
The two people in the truck were hospitalized with serious injuries but their condition was not known, said Joe Luna, spokesman for the Ventura County Fire Department. The crossing where the crash occurred has flashing lights and gates that were functioning, Amtrak spokeswoman Vernae Graham said.
A front train car that partially derailed was put back on track early Saturday and there were no service delays on the line.
Passengers described "pandemonium" inside the San Diego-bound Surfliner passenger train when it crashed Friday night in the Somis farming area north of Camarillo. The area is west of Moorpark and about 50 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
