DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — 15 people have been injured following an incident involving a Delray Beach Fire Rescue truck and a Brightline train Saturday morning.

“I was on a call with a friend of mine and the next thing you know I heard the crash,” said Delray Beach resident Alek Dunn who lives across the street from where it happened. “I saw the train deploy its emergency brakes and slow down.”
