Local train derailed into the water! ACE (Altamont Commuter Express)

I read that last night!

I'm sorry to hear the news and feel terrible for the passengers and crew affected by the accident.

A quick blurb I read last night said there's been a lot of rain, which may have contributed to the accident.
 
Official story at this time is that there was a mudslide. The train hit it and the cab car and first coach derailed. Cab car went into the creek. No fatalities, 10 minor injuries, 4 serious but non life threatening injuries.
 
Yeah, talkshow radio, 107.7 the bone, talked about it all day. They said there was a tree hit, and that with the mudslide caused the accident. I bet the guy at the controls get rattled pretty good, hopefully he was not stuck in the water.
