The pickup caught on fire, and four of Metrolink's Ventura County Line Train 102 cars derailed and toppled over shortly before 6 a.m. According to a Metrolink spokesman, at least 30 people, including the train's engineer, were injured. The truck driver fled the scene but was caught by authorities and taken into custody.
