A Caltrain train collided with a contractor's truck in San Bruno Thursday morning, sparking a fire on the tracks and causing injuries and commuting delays.
In an interview with KTVU, Caltrain spokesman Dan Lieberman would not specify exactly how many people were injured, but he emphasized none were life-threatening. A complete picture of the extent of injuries was not available, although Caltrain tweeted that two of its workers – a crew member and an equipment operator – were hurt. Caltrain also said that the truck's driver went to the hospital, but no one on the train was hurt.
Caltrain officials said that southbound train 506 departed San Francisco at 10:14 a.m. and struck on-track equipment just after 10:38 a.m. The train was quickly evacuated. Fire crews responded and extinguished the fire, but trains were being held in both directions because of the emergency response. Service will be limited to one track until 4:30 p.m.How the collision occurred still needs to be investigated.
