Amtrak Train Was Traveling at Twice the Speed Limit When It Derailed, NTSB Says
Amtrak said there were approximately 238 passengers and five crew
members on board. The mayor said this afternoon that the number of
passengers has not been confirmed as officials are still comparing train
manifestos and hospital records.
Five people died at the accident scene and a sixth person later died at
Temple University Hospital, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Herbert Cushing
said. The mayor confirmed a seventh death this afternoon.
The mayor said over 200 people were treated at area hospitals. Ten people remain in critical condition.
