Projectile hit SEPTA train window before Amtrak crash, NTSB to interview engineer

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The SEPTA engineer who had something strike his train just minutes before the Amtrak crash is expected to be interviewed by the NTSB this weekend.

The passengers on the SEPTA train had a scare of their own before the deadly Amtrak derailment on Tuesday night.

SEPTA says something hit the front window of one of their trains, about 20 minutes before the Amtrak train crashed.

However, SEPTA says there's no evidence to connect this incident to the deadly derailment.

No one was hurt.

80 people had to be unloaded from the train and transported by bus.
