This is a major disaster... This is the highest death toll on metrolink history. A metrolink train and a freight train collided head-on, and the freight train pushed the engine of the metrolink into the front passenger car, derailing the wedged engine and passenger car, as well as several cars on the freight train. The engineers and I believe conductors of both trains were killed, along with 21 other people, though I guess they're still searching the wreckage and that number may grow.
