Train carriages have plummeted on to a motorway in Washington state, causing "multiple" fatalities.
Police say the train derailed and the carriages fell on to the highway below.
Images from the scene show that all the carriages of the high-speed train appear to have left the track.
Washington's governor has declared a state of emergency in two counties.
Pierce County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ed Troyer said that there were "multiple" fatalities on the train but no motorists had been killed.
He adds that the fire department had taken many people out of the train and they had been taken to hospitals.
Several cars on the highway were struck by the derailed carriages.
