  • An abandoned SUV exploded into a massive fireball and was dragged several yards flaming along the tracks early Thursday after a train slammed into on the busy San Jose to San Francisco Caltrain line, a fire official said. Sunnyvale Fire Battalion Chief David Pitts told KTVU that the crash took place around 4:50 a.m. “Police and fire units got a call of a train on fire,” he said. “We arrived and found a vehicle fully involved at the front of the train.”
  • Fire crews quickly brought the fire under control and began searching for victims. “We searched the track; there were no bodies on the track,” he said. “We searched the car; there was no one in the car.”
  • Despite the front of the train being heavily damaged and badly scorched, there were also no injuries among the more then 30 passengers and crew members onboard. “They were all fine,” Pitts said. “Nobody was injured and they were evacuated from the train.”
