Thirteen of the train's 14 carriages jumped the tracks, and five vehicles plus two semi-trailer trucks were involved in the accident, the Washington State Patrol said.
A train has derailed on its inaugural run in the north-western United States. Carriages left the track as it crossed a bridge, crashing on to the motorway below at the height of the morning rush hour. Unconfirmed reports speak of at least six deaths while medical officers say 77 people have been taken to hospital.
The train may have struck something on the track before derailing, according to one report. It was the first train to run along a new, faster route from Seattle in Washington state to Portland, Oregon.

Don't be ridiculous with your assumptions - tictac. Donald knows. It's lack of infrastructure investment.
He says "The train accident that just occurred in DuPont, WA shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly. Seven trillion dollars spent in the Middle East while our roads, bridges, tunnels, railways (and more) crumble! Not for long!"
According to CNN.......That is a somewhat remarkable tweet from a president given the fact that emergency crews were still sorting through the rubble, several people had been killed in the accident and 77 people had been taken to a variety of local hospitals.
Trump followed that first tweet with a second, more traditionally presidential one 11 minutes later. "My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in the train accident in DuPont, Washington," Trump tweeted. "Thank you to all of our wonderful First Responders who are on the scene. We are currently monitoring here at the White House."
