An Amtrak train traveling from Los Angeles to Seattle crashed into a fuel truck south of Guadalupe on Wednesday afternoon spilling 3,500 gallons of diesel fuel.

Shortly after 4 p.m.,  the train crashed into the semi-truck injuring four people and causing a temporary closure of a portion of Highway 1. There were 218 passengers on the train.

Emergency personnel transported the truck driver to a local hospital for treatment of major injuries. Three passengers sustained minor injuries.

This incident could have been extremely serious. The 218 Amtrak passengers and crew should thank their lucky stars that the fuel truck wasn’t carrying a load of gasoline.

What was a fuel truck doing on the tracks? A train can’t alter its course.

Blaming the truck?, wasn’t there a driver who was ultimately responsible?, the truck did nothing wrong by itself.

There was, in fact, and he’s now dead.
