Three passengers were killed when a passenger train derailed from the flyover in the United States on the busy streets below. At least 100 people injured were sent to different hospitals for treatment.
The accident took place in the inauguration of a new route to the Amtrak Company Passenger Train. Local authorities confirmed the deaths of three people in this incident. Although the message agency AP mentioned the deaths of at least six people, according to them.
It was also the inauguration of the train on a new route. The pictures taken from the helicopter show that all the trainers on the two sides of the flyover are still there. A compartment hangs very dangerously. On the newly launched route from Seattle, the train collapsed on the busy road below the flyover at 45 minutes before the start of the journey to Portland.
The time was very busy in the morning. A lot of cars went on the road and the train carriage.
The train had 80 people at that time, authorities said. County Sheriff Department spokesman Ad Traver talks about widespread damage.
Troy said, "At this moment I can say that the train has suffered severe damage. I can not talk about the street. Many people came forward to help. He said the rescuers were working there. Many have been evacuated from a devastated train. He will still take much time to rescue, he said.
The injured were taken to a local hospital for treatment. The Washington Governor has announced an emergency and declared rescue operation. Chris Cairns, a passenger of the train said, "The passengers were terrified. As soon as we reached Dupont, it seemed that we started going through a bend and suddenly heard a loud noise. It seemed as though we were falling from a mountain on a sudden.
