Train cars derailed after hitting vehicle in southern California

A train struck a vehicle on tracks between the southern California cities of Oxnard and Camarillo on Tuesday morning, the passenger rail line Metrolink said on its Twitter account.

Multiple people were being treated by emergency personnel on tarps on a road adjacent to the tracks, video from CNN affiliate KABC shows.

The train hit a vehicle just before 5:45 a.m., the California Highway Patrol said online. Several cars derailed, and at least one vehicle was said to be “fully engulfed,” the patrol said.
