An Amtrak train carrying nearly 200 passengers struck a county water truck and derailed on Wednesday in Southern California, critically injuring the truck's driver, authorities said.

Three of the train's seven cars went off the tracks following the collision in Moorpark, said Ventura County Fire Department captain Brian McGrath. The derailed train cars remained upright on tracks adjacent to an orchard and bare sections of land.
