The passenger of a garbage truck who was killed when an Amtrak train carrying dozens of Republican members of Congress slammed into it was identified as a 28-year-old Virginian. Christopher Foley, of Louisa County, couldn’t be saved, while the truck driver was taken by ground to the University of Virginia Medical Center with serious injuries, and the other passenger was airlifted to a hospital in critical condition, WTVR reported.
The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team to investigate and would spend several days at the site, spokesman Earl Weener said.
Benny Layne, on whose property the truck landed, said the crossing arms had been known to malfunction, sometimes coming down even though no train was approaching. Sometimes, he said, they stayed down for hours. He said drivers would get out of their vehicles to help guide other motorists around the malfunctioning arms so they could cross the tracks.
“A guy was up here just yesterday or the day before taking a look at them,” he said.
Carrie Brown, human resources manager at Buckingham Branch Railroad, which leases the stretch of track and is responsible for maintenance, said she was unaware of any problems with equipment at the crossing.
Weener said late Wednesday that signal experts would be looking at the safety of the crossing.

You now have the name of the driver, don't you?
Last time I checked, yesterday, that wasn't released.
Now you have the guy who apparently did it...deliberately.

Pay close attention to William Campbell's testimony on Monday about the Uranium One scandal. He said bags of cash were offered.
Keep him in your thoughts. Pray that he lives.

I guess my whole point is that the deafening silence reveals how nervous it makes the news media, which points to the notion that there's more to it than meets the eye ie: just an accident nothing more.
Pointing this out, how frightened they appear to be in seeking to report on it or to ask any follow up questions about it, seems to indicate, well, something... (National Security issue would explain it).
What I find disturbing about it, aside from the implications of what could have happened, are the very sketchy details and reporting, and the total blackout about it that we're now in.
It looks like a Vito Corleone move to me, and Schumer's face and look the night of the POTUS is imho chilling.
Does the Trump administration and the US Government cower in the face of threats like this?
That isn't how that cop took on the M-13 crims and got them.
I believe that this is one of the main reasons that Q has gone silent.
My interpretation of it, is that it was by design, and that it was the moment that the black hatters fell victim to a hoodwink of their own making which can be seen on the face of Chucky Schumer on the night of the SOTU.
Somehow the MSM thinks that they've turned the Memo release into a dud.
While Q is silent, Session's appears to be distracted and the clock ticks on..
I guess they iron clad proof and evidence, not just regarding the train, but everything else.
Will no one be held accountable?
The silence is defeaning.

Thanks.
So I was correct. Two in truck...one dead and one critical.
I just had the driver and passenger mixed up.
