At least three people are dead and dozens more were injured after an Amtrak train traveling from Los Angeles to Chicago struck a dump truck and derailed in rural Missouri Monday, authorities said, the second major incident in two days for the passenger railroad service. Several cars of Amtrak’s Southwest Chief train came off the tracks after colliding with a dump truck at 12:42 p.m. in Mendon, Missouri, about three hours northwest of St. Louis, Amtrak said. Seven of the train's eight cars derailed, said Cpl. Justin Dunn, public information officer at Missouri State Highway Patrol. Dunn confirmed that two people died on the train and one died in the truck. The accident comes one day after a deadly crash in Brentwood, California, where an Amtrak commuter train slammed into a vehicle at an unmarked crossing. Three people inside the vehicle were killed and three others injured, but none of the 80 Amtrak passengers were injured, according to the California Highway Patrol. 🔗 Visit our link in bio for the latest on this story. 📸 Charlie Riedel, @apnews
