WASHINGTON - At least one person has died and several people are trapped and injured after a Metro Red Line train derailed and collided with another Metro train, officials say.
The six-car train derailed and then collided with another train between the Takoma Park and Fort Totten stations around 5 p.m. Monday.
The trains are "lodged on top of one another," D.C. Fire and EMS spokesman Alan Etter says.
Crews are on the scene working to free several people who are trapped in the trains, Etter says.
"We have to make this car stable enough for firefighters to get people out of there," Etter says.
The train was headed toward the Shady Grove station at the time of the accident, which occurred near the Maryland-D.C. border.
Etter tells WTOP rescue crews are setting up for the "possibility of a mass casualty event."
All area hospitals have been advised to expect patients, Etter says.
Metro is advising that people avoid the Red Line for the rest of the day.
Trains are operating between Glenmont and Brookland and between Shady Grove and Brookland stations and from Glenmont to Takoma stations for the remainder of the day.
WTOP has a reporter en route to the scene and will have more information as it becomes available. javascript:void(0)

Peace folks...
Here's a little we dropped just in time for father's day. Enjoy and pass it on.
Here’s a special Father’s Day dedication to all you patriarchs out there.
New-Daddy Substantial enlists the talents of local DMV artists Gods’Illa and QN5 labelmate Kokayi to expound on the art of being a papa in 2009. This track was produced by Marcus D. (of “Day In The Life (f/ Steph)“ fame) and is taken directly from their forthcoming Japanese-Only collaborative album, Jazzmatic (Music To Take Your Breath Away), due out this fall on Tamashie Creations/Elevation Records. In the meantime, tell your baby mama we said ‘whuttup’.
You gotta love it...
