HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – Officials in Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s office say the governor will meet with representatives from the National Transportation Safety Board and Connecticut’s two U.S. senators at the site of a Metro-North Railroad crash that injured 70 people.
Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy and other Connecticut officials will also participate in the tour, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. EDT Saturday near Bridgeport. The delegation will update journalists with the latest details of the crash after surveying the area.
Three people remain in critical condition following the rush-hour crash Friday between two commuter trains that serve the northern suburbs of New York City.
