Two people were taken to hospital after two trains collided east of Revelstoke, B.C., leading to a derailment and a fire.
A statement from train operator Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) says one of its trains hit another one, which was stopped 12.87 kilometres east of Revelstoke in the southern Interior, just after 10 p.m. PT on Friday.
CPKC says that four train cars, carrying grain, on the stopped train were derailed.
“Two crew members on the moving train were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. One has been released,” the statement reads. “There were no other injuries.”
