Three confirmed dead in LA train crash
Three people have died in an early-morning three-way train collision in the Los Angeles suburb of Glendale.
Los Angeles Fire Captain Rex Vilaubi said “at this point we have three confirmed dead”.
Firefighters could be seen carrying injured people from the cars, as smoke wafted from twisted wreckage at the scene of the crash.
“There are multiple injuries,” Metrolink spokeswoman Denise Tyrrell said. “We are at the moment attending to those injuries on the ground and we’re assessing the situation.”
In a light rain, firefighters were searching through wreckage and set up a command post in a nearby parking lot, where injured people could be seen lying on mats awaiting treatment.
