Two Metro-North Railroad commuter trains collided in Bridgeport, Connecticut, injuring dozens of people and limiting Amtrak service between New York and Boston in one of the worst U.S. passenger rail accidents since 2008.
U.S. transportation safety investigators and regulators are on the scene to probe the causes of yesterday’s crash, which sent about 60 people to local hospitals, Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy said, according to the Associated Press. He said most of the injuries were minor.
