The train carrying members of Congress to a Republican retreat in West Virginia last month struck a garbage truck that had entered a railroad crossing after safety gates had come down, according to a new report released Wednesday.
Authorities identified the person killed as Christopher Foley, 28, of Louisa County, Va., one of two passengers inside the truck. The other passenger, still unidentified, was airlifted to the University of Virginia Medical Center with critical injuries.
The truck’s driver, also still unidentified, was transported to a hospital with serious injuries, according to Madeline Curott, public information officer of the Albemarle County, Va., police department.
The driver of the truck was transported by ground in serious condition. President Donald Trump had said Wednesday afternoon that the driver of the truck had been killed.
Marshall later told MSNBC that he first tried to help the deceased victim but “couldn’t find a pulse, so we started CPR and worked on that person for several, several minutes, and [it] just didn’t go real well for that gentlemen.”
