An Amtrak train in North Carolina derailed Monday after hitting a transfer truck on the tracks.
Halifax County Sheriff Wes Trip told The Daily Herald that multiple people were injured, but none of the injuries were life-threatening.
Charlotte Story, a passenger on the train, told WRAL that she saw multiple people with minor injuries.
"There was a massive jerk and we were kind of thrown forward a little bit, and the train came to a sudden stop," Story told the station. "I couldn't tell you if it was trying to slow down or not. There was no whistle. It came completely out of the blue."
One little girl was thrown out of her chair following the derailment, but was unhurt, Story said.
The train was bound for New York, according to ABC11.
A video posted on Twitter appears to show the moment the train crashes into the truck.
