A Metrolink commuter train and a freight train have collided in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles.

One car of the Metrolink train has derailed along with what appears to be the engine of the freight.

Footage of the Friday afternoon collision was broadcast from a KABC-TV helicopter over the scene.

Ouch. I’ve ridden on that particular Metrolink only once, but I take a commuter train every day here in Seattle. The possibility of the Sounder colliding with an Amtrak or freight train is very real.

Odd the LA Times online doesn’t have it yet.
