’Awful jolt’: Head-on Amtrak crash injures 16 in Oakland, Calif.

An Amtrak train crashed into another train unloading passengers in an Oakland station late Wednesday, injuring at least 16 people, authorities said. The train was traveling an estimated 15 to 20 miles per hour when it struck the stationary Amtrak passenger train about 10 p.m., said Oakland Fire Department battalion chief Emon Usher. Most of the injuries were minor, but several people were taken to local hospitals, Usher said. Usher said the company told him that train went through a red light.
