A train that was carrying House and Senate Republicans to a retreat in West Virginia hit a truck, according to reports on Wednesday, Jan. 31.
“Thankfully it does appear that most people are OK here, some minor injuries,” he said.
He said that he hoped the driver and any passengers inside the truck were not hurt.
The crash took place near Charlottesville, Virginia.
“We were on our way to West Virginia and it was a sudden impact, a loud noise and everyone was jolted,” he added.
“There was (what) looks like a tractor trailer carrying trash that was hit by the train,” Faso told the network.
“I think everyone on the train is OK,” Faso said. “I don’t know that for sure, it’s a long train. But most of the concern is for the people outside.”
It’s not clear how many members of Congress were on the train.
