Metrolink Train Derails In Oxnard After Colliding With Truck On Tracks in Southern California
---
A Metrolink train derailed Tuesday morning after it collided with a tractor trailer on the tracks in Ventura County, officials said.
The VC Line 102 train, which was headed southbound to Los Angeles, hit the car around 5:45 a.m. near 5th Street and Rice Avenue in Oxnard, according to the Ventura County Fire Department.
“For some reason there was a tractor trailer on the tracks there at Rice Avenue and Train 102 collided with it,” said Scott Johnson of Metrolink.
The truck caught fire and four train cars derailed.
At least 30 people have been injured and taken to Ventura County Medical Center or St. John’s Hospital in Oxnard, Metrolink said. It was unclear if there were any fatalities.
It was unknown how many passengers were on the train, which originated from east Ventura.
“All southbound traffic is shut down on Rice Ave at Sturgis Road. All northbound traffic on Rice Avenue is shut down at Channel Islands Boulevard,” Oxnard police said.
Metrolink reports that all Ventura County trains will experience extensive delays due to the accident. All trains will travel as far as Oxnard where buses will provide further transportation.
