More than two dozen people were injured when an Amtrak train headed to Chicago derailed in Kansas early Monday morning.
In a statement, Amtrak said that the train out of Los Angeles carrying 128 passengers and 14 crew members derailed about 20 miles outside of Dodge City just after 12 a.m. local time.
"There were approximately 128 passengers and 14 crew members on board the train that had two locomotives and nine cars," Amtrak said in a statement.
Five of those cars reportedly came off the tracks.
Authorities in Grey County said that those injured were transported to local hospitals, but none of the injuries appear to be life threatening.
KSN TV noted that the Red Cross also responded to the scene and offered assistance to those onboard.
“At the request of the emergency manager, a team of seven #RedCross disaster responders are supporting passengers that were on board a train that has derailed by handing out blankets, hydration and snacks to passengers. Our team will continue to work with emergency officials to give help and hope to those affected by this incident.”
The National Transportation Safety Board is conducting the investigation to determine what caused the derailment.
