(RNN) – A train carrying Republican lawmakers to a retreat in West Virginia collided with a garbage truck on Wednesday.
Some GOP Congressional members tweeted that they were OK. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was also on the train, and his office told CNN he was OK.
Pres. Trump is scheduled to head the retreat later on Wednesday, but he is flying on Air Force One.
