Train Crash near Trinity, Nevada

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evLre6AdAuE&NR=1

Tractor trailer drove into side of Amtrak. Amtrak was traveling to San Francisco. 214 passengers were aboard. Reno fire and ambulances arrived. I heard about this on the telephone. I was talking to Nevada. They are now searching for more victims as two cars caught fire. They now confirm 6 dead, 140 minor injury s.

Just because the truck couldn't stop. They are checking the truck to see if he tried to stop. The driver is dead.

Terrible - a suicide mission perhaps?
Jean R B. Jun 30, 2011, 1:37am UTC
I am hoping that it was faulty brakes. We will soon find out.

I heard on the TV News that the tractor trailer had tires so bald that they were too bald to be re-treaded. A "contributing factor" the news said.
