Listen live to Albemarle County Fire & Rescue
Fire and rescue from Albemarle County, Virginia on the scene of the train that collided with a trash truck. The train had members of Congress aboard headed to a retreat in West Virginia.
Martine Powers & Faiz Siddiqui, The Washington Post:
Members of Congress and the local NBC affiliate were reporting one person was killed and two people were injured. Amtrak said there were no injuries to those aboard the train, which originated in Washington.
The train was stopped near Crozet, Va. and was carrying members of the House and Senate, some of their spouses and children and aides, although it was not immediately clear which members are onboard.
“We appear to have hit a garbage truck,” said Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who was reached by telephone on board the train.
