Is trump wrong concerning the accident?

I just heard him (MSNBC) say that the truck driver was killed.

I had heard that two men in the truck behind the cab were ejected and one of them died.

Imagine the family of the driver hearing this if he is wrong.

He sent no prayers or sympathy to any victims or families.

Three serious injured, one of them fatal, to occupants of the truck. Some were ejected from the truck.

Nothing specifically about the driver.

There was a telephone interview of a person on the train that mentioned first aid for the truck's occupants. I didn't note what they said about the injured.

Sarah Sanders said one serious and one dead which is different than what the media says.

tRump is most likely assuming driver.

"Trump said. "We don't have a full understanding yet as to what happened, but it was a train hitting a truck, going at a pretty, pretty good speed and 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 and I'll be going to West Virginia, great state."

He appears to be speculating.
