Amtrak Crash: At Least 140 Go to Hospitals

Wednesday, 13 May 2015 06:36 AM EDT

At least 140 people have gone to hospitals to be evaluated or treated after an Amtrak train derailed in Philadelphia.

The train was carrying 243 people from Washington, D.C., to New York City on Tuesday night when it derailed.

A spokesman for Temple University Hospital says at least 36 people injured in the crash have been brought in in varying conditions.

A spokeswoman for Aria Health says its hospital in Frankford got about 26 patients while 50 were brought to its Torresdale hospital.

A spokesman for Hahnemann University Hospital says it has seen about 25 patients.

And a spokesman for Albert Einstein Medical Center says it treated 10 patients.

The spokespeople couldn't give a breakdown of the severity of the injuries.

Officials say all seven cars of an Amtrak train that derailed in Philadelphia came off the tracks.

Fire Department spokesman Clifford Gilliam says the train had six passenger cars and the engine.

Mayor Michael Nutter says at least five people were killed and at least 65 people were transported to hospitals, including six in critical condition.

Nutter says not everyone who was on the train has been accounted for.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf says the state will help Philadelphia in "whatever way we can."
