9 Injured in Wine Train Accident
A mishap over the weekend with the Napa Valley Wine Train left nine people with moderate injuries, authorities said.
The accident happened about 8:30 p.m. Saturday as the train carrying 200 people rolled through St. Helena on its way to Napa, St. Helena Fire Chief Kevin Twohey said.
Passenger cars apparently became uncoupled and slammed into the engine, prompting an abrupt emergency stop that knocked people from their seats, Twohey said.
The train did not derail. The cause of the accident is under investigation.
