At least six people have been confirmed killed after a train derailed Monday from a highway overpass in Washington state, slammed onto the roadway underneath, and wrecked several vehicles, the Associated Press reported citing a Washington State official.
An additional 77 people were transported to hospitals in Pierce and Thurston counties, the Tacoma-based CHI Franciscan Health healthcare network said in a statement. Four of them were considered “level red” patients with the most severe injuries.
