PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- An Amtrak train travelling through Northern Washington hit a fallen tree, causing the tree to impale the train's front windshield Tuesday night during a major bomb cyclone storm, authorities said.
According to Washington State Department of Transportation, the incident happened just south of Stanwood when the tree went through the front window of a cab car after being hit.
An engineer was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, officials said.
No other passengers or crew members were injured, authorities said.
According to WSDOT, the train was originally traveling from Vancouver, B.C. to Seattle and passengers were taken by bus to their final destinations.
Overall, the bomb cyclone battered the entire region with strong winds and rain, causing widespread power outages, closing schools and downed trees that killed at least two people in the same area of Northwest Washington earlier this week.
