The closer you were, the more the impact there was. It did derail the engine of the car but it still took us a while to stop," Flake described.
Inside the train, injuries were not life-threatening. One lawmaker described colleagues prying open doors and jumping off the train.

But outside, it was a different scene. One person in the truck – a passenger – was killed. The Albemarle County Police Department identified him as Christopher Foley, 28, of Louisa County.
Flake and other lawmakers rushed to help the injured. Rep. Roger Marshall of Kansas, a doctor, performed CPR on the truck's passenger, but he could not be revived.
"I think that someone died, someone's in serious situation, very seriously ill, I think we did everything we can do," Marshall said. "So you know we'll pray for their families."
Several lawmakers were seen carrying one of the victims from the crash site. For Rep. Brad Wenstrup, it was the second time in a year he had put his Army field surgeon training to use. Last June, it was Wenstrup who administered first aid to Rep. Steve Scalise when he was severely injured in a shooting.
