The crash occurred just before 5 p.m. on an above-ground track on the Red Li
ne near Takoma Park, Maryland, according to the Washington Metropolitan Area
Transit Authority.
Forty-two people were taken to a hospital, according to CNN affiliate WUSA.
Video Watch report from the scene
Video from CNN affiliate WJLA shows much of one Metro car on top of another.
Both trains were on the same track, said John Catoe, Metro general manager.
Beyond that, he was unable to say why the crash occurred.
"We will find what happened and will fix what happened," Catoe said.
Emergency personnel helped injured passengers, some on stretchers, from the
wreckage, video from WUSA shows. Video Watch injured passengers limp from th

Fire department personnel were cutting through the trains to help people fro
m the wreckage, officials said at a press briefing.
Jodie Wickett, a nurse who was a passenger on one of the trains, said she wa
s was texting on her phone when she felt a bump.
"About 5-10 seconds later, the train came to a complete halt -- we went flyi
ng," Jodie Wickett said.
She said she went through some of the cars, trying to help people.
"There was debris and people pinned underneath," she said.

Ten to 15 minutes passed before she saw emergency personnel, she said.
Groups of people wearing green plastic ribbons to show they had been checked
by paramedics left the crash scene about 90 minutes after the crash. Some w
ere crying, and a woman with her arm in a sling who gave her name as Tijuana
described the crash as "an earthquake."

on the contrary, increasing the price might have some positive impact.
it's simply too crowded.
what we really need is, we need the dead-ended tech-way project back, so
more people can drive between MD and VA
but it's hopeless. Look at how long ICC takes, 50 years of debate? and it's
only 18 miles long and needs many years to construct.
I guess we have to live with the bad traffic for a long time, if not forever
