At 2:42 pm Thursday, the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District responded to a report of a vehicle versus train on Orwood Road just east of Orwood Resort.
According to crews on scene, the train observed a truck on the railway and began blowing its horn but the truck did not move and the two collided throwing the truck into the water while ejecting the man from the vehicle.
The truck then landed on a woman who was floating in a tube in the Middle River. A jet ski from the truck was laying on the train tracks as crews blocked off the intersection.
According to a witness who was in the area, a bystander jumped into the water to save the female and helped pull her from under the truck before authorities arrived.
Both the male and female were airlifted from the scene listed in critical condition.
Aamtrak says that 140 people were on-board, but no injuries were reported on the train. The train was a San Joaquin train from Bakersfield heading to Oakland.
The incident required two medical helicopters and all three East Contra Costa Fire Protection District Engines, three AMR units along with a response from the Contra Costa County Sheriffs Office, Marine Patrol, and California Highway Patrol.
