CAYCE, S.C. (AP) — The Latest on a deadly Amtrak train crash in South Carolina (all times local):

9:15 a.m.

Federal investigators are planning to give an update on their probe into a deadly crash between a freight train and a passenger train in South Carolina.

The National Transportation Safety Board says on Twitter that the agency will hold a meeting briefing at 4 p.m. Monday near the Columbia Metropolitan Airport.

Board Chairman Robert Sumwalt and other investigators are on the ground in Cayce (CAY-see), where an Amtrak train slammed into a freight train early Sunday, killing a conductor and an engineer. More than a hundred people were injured.

I don't like starting a new thread, but there's probably a video link out there, if someone want to find it.
