Service truck. That was separated in the collision with this commuter train. The driver, according to Ventura County fire fled the scene and was taken into custody about a mile away. Uncertain if he had any injuries. You were talking about this collision and the injuries. From what we understand in talking to the Fire Department four were immediate or critical had to be transported to a nearby hospital. There were nine others who were treated right there on seen at the triage unit they had set up. Those moderate or delayed injuries ranging from broken bones to fractures to severe cuts to head trauma. And 15 other people suffered minor injuries. The fire officials here stressing that they think it was somewhat of a miracle that so far there have been no fatalities. Of course, those four with immediate or critical injuries not out of the woods yet. Firefighters also reckoning with a serious fire on scene. Diesel fuel everywhere some of it possibly coming from that truck that was separated. And as you look at the scene, the metrolink cars did not crumple up on themselves or break open. They stayed intact. This may have reduced the total amount of injury. They had put a lot of safety and impact measures in place after that horrific chatsworth accident. This train, according to officials here, is what they would call a pusher. If you look at the video or the aerial pictures youll see the engine is in the back. So it was moving this train toward los angeles. One estimate is it was about a mile or two miles from the last stop. This is not a place where its going to exceedingly fast. One estimate it was going 50 or 60 miles an hour when it collided with this truck, wolf. You can see the mangled wreckage here as well of the truck that it hit, separated in two spots. The main part of the truck burned up completely in that fire and the tractor laying on its side. It looks like there were five cars detached and you can see clearly two of them are laying on their side. We should also note they took 51 people in all off the train. And 23 of them were looked over and considered uninjured. They were put on a nearby bus and all of these people will of course be interviewed to see if they can shed any light on why this happened here in oxnard. Very very rural area right through here wellknown for its agri business. You could see people working in fields getting all the produce together. Thats why theres a lot of these type of trucks in this area. Was that truck in the intersection there where the rails were the truck was just stopped in the middle of an intersection . Is that the suspicion, paul . Reporter exactly, wolf. They believe that somehow this truck got stopped on the tracks in this very busy intersection. You eyeball it from right here. The markings are there. Rail crossing the red flashing lights there are crossing guards there are signs, do not stop on track. So somehow some way this truck got through there right here at fifth street and rice in oxnard and was on the track. One report from Ventura County fire is the engineer was able to try to slam on some sort of brakes and minimize the impact. Perhaps that helping to save countless lives in this collision. And for some reason the driver of that truck simply ran away. He was picked up as you point out, about a mile or so from this intersection. Stand by, paul. Joining us on the phone is the fire investigator for the city of oxnard, joe garsis. Thanks very much for joining us. What can you tell us about the cause of this horrific train crash . Like paul was saying we have five cars total that were derailed. Three are on their side. And they are all intact. What we have heard from the initial reports from the Oxnard Police department, the lead investigating agency right now, is that the driver was unfamiliar with the area. Hes a produce service out of yuma, arizona. He drove onto the tracks mistaking the wide tracks for the turn onto the next highway. So he drove approximately 50 yards on the track where he then got stuck. The driver is being cooperative. He was taken to one of the local hospitals just to be looked over. And at this time he is not under arrest or in police custody. But the investigation is continuing. And i assume when the train hit that truck, that metrolink train, when it hit the truck, he was already out of the truck, right . He was not in the truck upon impact . Yes that is true. He had left the truck and when he saw that the train was coming he had, according to him, he had fled the area. Did he explain why he fled the scene . At this time no we dont have that information. But he has been extremely cooperative. He is not suspected of being under the influence of any drugs or alcohol. And hes being tended to at a local hospital. Joe, this occurred about 5 30 a. M. Pacific time, your time. So i assume it was still dark outside and so maybe this driver was simply confused about that intersection, is that the suspicion . Yes, that is the suspicion. From where he made the righthand turn the controlled crossing arms he turned around the first one and didnt go around the second onto the main highway. So clearly something has to be done to make sure theres no more confusion down the road. I know youre not in charge of the ntsb the National Transportation safety board, but if there was a blunder like this, assuming it was simply a blunder at 5 30 in the morning while its still dark you have to do better the metrolink, the rails, they have to do a better job making sure that this doesnt happen again. I think youll agree with me . Well, i cant speak to that. Like you said, that is for engineers and Traffic Control to figure those things out. But what we do know is that he did admit to turning actually onto the tracks in the mistake that he thought he was turning onto the road. And fortunately, joe, just want to repeat no fatalities but a lot of injuries. Yes. Zero fatalities and the four critically injured were taken to our local Trauma Center at ventura, california. And i know at this point, one has been admitted to the icu and were waiting for further update on the conditions of the remaining critical. Joe, good luck to you. Thanks very much for all the help. We appreciate it. Good luck to all the folks out there in oxnard in california, just outside of los angeles. Well get back to this story as new information comes in.

S. Department of Homeland Security technically runs out. Senate republicans failed to get a bill through that would have kept the money flowing but thats because they tied the funding to a measure that would negate president obamas executive order on Immigration Reform. Heres the California Democratic senator Barbara Boxer on the senate floor just a little while ago. This is what this party, the grand old party, the gop, this is what they have brought. But they can get out of it in five minutes. Speaker boehner can pass a funding bill. It will pass in a heartbeat. Send it over here well pass it well turn to immigration and have it out on that subject. I think its worthy of a debate. But you dont hold an important funding bill hostage to that debate. It is ridiculous unnecessary, destructive and cruel. Most observers believe whats called a clean bill is the only thing that will clear the senate given the democrats opposition to linking any measure to immigration. But it may not necessarily get done by the deadline which is this friday. Joining us now from capitol hill, two members of the house of representatives, Wisconsin Republican congressman sean duffy, Michigan Democratic congressman dan kilde. My assumption is that by friday midnight even earlier, the senate will pass whats called a clean bill. It will go to the house of representatives without any direct attachment to immigration, what the president wants to do on Immigration Reform. What will happen in the house of representatives . Youre an optimist, wolf hold on one second. I think that was josh earnest that we got a technical issue. Let me start again. Sean duffy, assuming it passes a clean bill in the senate whats going to happen in the house of representatives . What were going to do is something simple. Were going to say, lets fund the security of our homeland make sure all the money is there to make sure al qaeda or russia or china, no one can attack us here. But were not funding something that has nothing to do with Homeland Security which is the president s executive overreach. So when i heard Barbara Boxer and others make comments that were not passing a clean bill the fact is we are passing a clean bill that funds Homeland Security until the end of the fiscal year, which is the right thing to do. What i dont understand is why democrats are saying we have to have the funding of the president s executive overreach in exchange for funding Homeland Security. That doesnt make sense. The president 22 times said he couldnt do this. The courts have agreed he cant do it. And in our funding package we didnt give him the money for executive amnesty. Congressman kilde, explain why you disagree with your republican colleague. I dont think its proper for the congress to use the appropriations process, use the essential funding to an important division of federal government in order to exact from either the president or democrats in congress that which they are not willing to submit to the legislative process. A simple fix would be to fund Homeland Security as congressman duffy said fund that essential service and then bring to the floor of the house of representatives and the Senate Comprehensive Immigration reform. Lets deal with the question of immigration but deal with it in its own context. If we want to talk about overreach, overreach is using a threat of the shutdown of an important set of government responsibilities in order to exact concessions from the president or from democrats in congress. That to me is not acceptable. Let me get back hold on a second. Lets get back to the original question. Congressman duffy, if i know you think its optimistic. But say the senate does pass whats called a clean funding bill for the department of Homeland Security. If it comes without immigration attached to it what will happen in the house of representatives . Will you vote under those circumstances to keep the department of Homeland Security running . Listen ive already voted once to keep the department of Homeland Security running and ill vote again to keep it running. But im not going to vote to fund the president s executive amnesty. I dont think thats right but in this new legislation, assuming it gets to you, there wont be any mention whatsoever of Homeland Security of immigration, which as you also note is under judicial review right now, for all practical purposes its stopped. That could come into play in our conference. But we have to understand that the house per our constitution has the power of the purse. So we have no obligation to Fund Executive amnesty that comes from the president or any of the president s wishes that come out of the white house. We have the power of the purse. And those duly elected members of the congress should hash that out. We need to get Immigration Reform done. But we are not funding the president s executive amnesty but we will fund Homeland Security. Thats a very important distinction. Whats hard for democrats is how do you shut down Homeland Security funding important agencies in exchange for saying were not going to allow the children to congressman kildee . Thats not the position the democrats or the president is taking. We can fund Homeland Security. We can do it today. We can do it this afternoon with a clean bill that does not try to direct the president or legislate that which the congress ought to legislate. And that is immigration policy. This is notnt about funding his executive order. This is about funding an essential function of government. And then congress should legislate on these Big Questions of immigration policy. But for whatever reason we have not seen the speaker bring comprehensive Immigration Reform that which passed the senate in the last congress to the floor of the house. I believe we should do that. But note we didnt bring it up in the last congress and we won a historic majority in the house. Bring it up now. We should. But the larger view is lets make sure we keep Homeland Security funded. We can have this debate about immigration further down the road when we have more time. But dont hold Homeland Security hostage because you want to Fund Executive amnesty. We have to end it. But for all practical purposes congressman duffy, what the president wants to do with these 4 million or 5 million undocumented immigrants right now, thats not happening because a texas federal judge says it has to be put on hold. Theyre going to seek some reviews. Theyre going to the fifth Circuit Court in new orleans. But for all practical purposes the president isnt able at least for the time being, to do what you want to do. Isnt it more important to keep the department of Homeland Security going rather than taking a principled position if you will . But, wolf that could buy us some short time whats happened in the courts. But, again, we have taken the right position which is fund Homeland Security. We need democrats to do that with us and save the debate on immigration for a later date. Dont hold the safety of the country hostage. We have to leave it there. But i know whats going to happen supposedly in the house of representatives if the senate does pass this clean bill. Nobody wants to see the department of Homeland Security shut down. The deadline is friday at midnight. Guys good luck to both of you. Good luck to everyone up on capitol hill because lots at stake for american Homeland Security right now. Its a critically important issue. Appreciate both of you spending a few moments with us. Thank you very much. Isis has reportedly kidnapped another group of christians, including women and children.
