No one was hurt after an Amtrak train crashed into a rental car Sunday night in Kalama.
Troy Brightbill, chief criminal deputy with the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office, told The Daily News the collision occurred at about 9:09 p.m., at the intersection of Toteff Road and Hendrickson Drive in Kalama, close to the Temco Kalama Terminal located at 400 Toteff Rd.
Kalama Police Chief Rafael Herrera said the driver of the 2024 Kia Soul, Jackson Dsouza of Canada, appeared visibly shaken but was uninjured from the crash.
According to Brightbill, Dsouza was driving a rental car, and was on his way to a nearby grain terminal when he took a wrong turn and accidentally drove onto the tracks while attempting to turn around.
Another driver helped him get out of the car, but the Kia was hit by the train, caught fire and declared a total loss.
The Amtrak train didn't sustain any damage, officials report.
