Commuter Trains Collide, Injure 60



According to Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy, 60 people are in the hospital as a result of a collision between two New York-area commuter trains.

One train derailed near Fairfield, Connecticut Friday evening and it forced the other train off its track on impact.

Governor Dannel said that five people were “critically injured”, one of which was described as being in very critical condition.

A spokesman for the Fairfield Police says that it is unclear whether the crash was a mechanical failure, an accident, or deliberate.

The National Transportation Safety Board has a team investigating the crash.
