Pete Sessions was among the Republican members of Congress onboard an Amtrak train that collided with a truck in Virginia this morning. The Dallas representative and the other lawmakers en route to a GOP conference in West Virginia did not suffer any serious injuries, aside from “some minor bumps and bruises” here and there, Rep. Thomas Massie told The Washington Post.
There were some reports that at least one person in the truck had been killed.
Sessions called in to Fox News to talk about the crash, and tweeted that he, his wife, and his staff members on board the train were safe.

It appears that the train hit a garbage truck. Praying for the individuals in the truck.
