Passenger Trains > Amtrak vs. car, Camarillo, CA

Starting to hear reports of a collision between Amtrak and a car in Camarillo, sometime around 8PM. All I've heard is no injuries reported yet.
Coincidentally, this part of Ventura County and points east are getting pounded by thunderstorms at the moment. Tough night.

No injuries -- at least, not at last report.
All 3 people who had been in the car
managed to get out before the train
hit their car.

180 Pax on the train being bussed to LAUS.
Could this be the Starlight?
Or a Surfliner?

--Jim Baker

Ventura County Star reports the train is a Surfliner.
