After the derailment, the Boy Scouts jumped into action: breaking windows, helping people off the train and attempting to save the life of the dump truck driver.
MENDON, Mo. - Two Boy Scout troops from Wisconsin played a major role in the rescue when an Amtrak train derailed in Missouri after hitting a dump truck at an uncontrolled crossing.
“Until I heard from my son an hour later, that he was okay, I couldn’t stop shaking or crying,” said Sarah Berken, whose son, Isaac, was also onboard. Two of the adults were transported to hospitals. WBAY reports that one suffered a cracked vertebrae, and the other had seven broken ribs and a bruised lung.
Armstrong told us the Scouts on the train assisted people and provided aid to people who needed it. One Scout from Appleton provided comfort to the driver of the dump truck, who was ejected in the crash, until the driver passed away.
