Commerce, CA

SCARY SCENE IN COMMERCE TONIGHT.  Two people have been killed on the AMTRAK commuter train lines that head right through the industrial City of Commerce.  The accident scene is located at the 6700 block of Telegraph Road, next to the Santa Ana Freeway (5 Freeway).

Lots of LA County firefighters are on the scene, and so are several members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.  The train was full of passengers at the time of the accident.

Homicide detectives are on the scene. Homicide detectives at a train crash?  Hummmm.... According to media reports, the two pedestrians may have been walking on the train overpass.  No names of the victims.

Are you on this train right now?  If you are in Commerce, and have any footage or photos, please send them to my email at economy4ABC.blogspot.com@gmail.com.

BTW....we have ALL driven pass this location for eons.  I wish I had a dollar for every time I drove under this bridge. Keep you posted.

I also heard that maybe three people might have been killed rather than two. Do you have any updates?
