RAPHO TOWNSHIP, LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. -- The Amtrak Police Department is investigating a train crash out of Lancaster County tonight.

After hearing about the incident, some people in Rapho Township worried what might have happened to the driver.A Deputy Fire Chief who responded to the crash says the driver only suffered a minor head injury.
"It could’ve been a lot worse," said Jason Sauder, the Deputy Fire Chief of West Hempfield Township Fire Department.Sauder responded to the crash.
"With my background, with what I do, it makes your adrenaline rush a little more because it sort of hits home," he explained.Hitting home because Sauder is both a volunteer firefighter and a farmer himself.
