At least 20 injured when big rig hits Amtrak train in California

At least 20 passengers suffered minor to moderate injuries Monday when a big rig truck collided with a southbound Amtrak train in California’s Central Valley, authorities said.

The crash occurred when the driver of the big rig that was carrying cotton trash failed to yield and hit the train, pushing at least one passenger car off the tracks south of Hanford, authorities said.

The injuries were described as bumps, bruises, scrapes and possibly broken bones by Kings County Assistant Sheriff Dave Putnam.

The crash occurred at a crossing that was equipped with control gates, Putnam said.

Six of the injured passengers were taken to Adventist Medical Center in Hanford, said hospital spokeswoman Christine Pickering. She did not provide details on the extent of their injuries.

“We did call in additional physicians and staff,” Pickering said.

The train carrying about 169 passengers and four crew members was on its way from Oakland to Bakersfield, according to Amtrak. It had four rail cars and a locomotive.

The truck driver suffered minor injuries, according to California Highway Patrol spokesman Jerry Pierce. The CHP will investigate the crash.

“This is a big, huge chaotic scene with lots of agencies involved,” Pierce said.

Pierce said the other passengers have been taken to an auditorium in Hanford, where they will board a train and continue to their destinations or family members will pick them up.

Elderly woman survives 11 hours in her car after California crash

A 93-year-old California woman survived 11 hours in her car after the vehicle plunged 50 to 60 feet down a highway embankment Friday.

Genevieve Couch, of Maryville, told Fox 40 that she tried to get out of her damaged car, but the driver’s side door was blocked by a tree, while the passenger side was surrounded by prickly bushes.

Couch tried to beat away the bushes using her cane, but suffered puncture wounds from the thorns.

Stuck inside the car, Couch made a makeshift bandage for herself and waited for hours while police and a California Highway Patrol helicopter searched for her. Responders on the scene were initially unable to locate Couch in the deep brush off Highway 70, Fox 40 reports.

“I wasn’t scared. I was just dying for a drink of water,” Couch said.

Passers-by spotted Couch 11 hours after the crash and alerted police, who rescued her.
