The commuter train collided with a vehicle crossing the tracks. The driver of the car was killed and six passengers on the train. Several people were also injured.
The shock caused an explosion and fire. Jamie Wallace was on board the train. "We heard people screaming at the lead car, he told. They panicked and they demanded we give them a fire extinguisher. We went to get the fire extinguisher and we wanted them to go, but we did not manage to open the door to give them. "
Other passengers said they broke the window of the car in order to escape.
Hundreds of train passengers were evacuated and taken care of by bus.
