This morning in Cayce, SC, not too far from the state farmers market on Charleston Highway, an Amtrak passenger train crashed into a freight train, leaving at least two dead and more than one hundred injured. Train engineer Michael Kempf, 54, from Savannah, Ga., and conductor Michael Cella, 36, Orange Park, Fla, both employees of Amtrak, were killed in the accident. Gov. Henry McMaster and state officials said that the Amtrak was on the wrong track, possibly the result of a switching mishap.  amtrak train wreck cayce sc columbia 025388amtrak train wreck cayce sc columbia 025388Emergency workers respond to a crash between an Amtrak train and CSX freight train Feb. 4, 2018 in Cayce, SC. - Photo by Columbia SC photographer Sean Rayford
