Trump on GOP Train Crash: ‘We Don’t Have a Full Understanding Yet As to What Happened’

‘We don’t have a full understanding yet as to what happened, but it was a train hitting a truck going at a pretty good speed’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “I just want to start by saying I spoke with Speaker Ryan just a few moments ago. They’re doing pretty good. The train accident was a tough one, a tremendous jolt. They’re proceeding to their conference. We don’t have a full understanding yet as to what happened, but it was a train hitting a truck going at a pretty good speed. We’ll have a full report as to what. It looks like the driver of the truck was killed. It’s very sad to see that. But they’re going on to the conference. I’ll be going to West Virginia, great state, I’ll be going there tomorrow and we’ll be together. But it was a pretty rough hit. That’s what they all tell me. I spoke to a few of the folks. They say it was tough."
