A 63-year-old woman died Tuesday after an Amtrak train struck her vehicle in Camarillo.

The incident was reported just after 10:35 a.m. at the railroad crossing near the intersection of Upland and Somis roads.

An Amtrak Surfliner headed northbound crashed into a four-door passenger vehicle with one female occupant, the Ventura County Fire Department said.

The vehicle had been traveling west on Upland Road when it stopped on the railroad tracks, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement Tuesday.

The engineer saw the vehicle and applied the emergency brakes but was not able to stop the train.

The locomotive struck the vehicle, pushing it into the crossing arm control box, authorities said.

The woman was pulled from the vehicle in critical condition and flown by helicopter to a trauma center, where she later died. Her name has not been released.

Video posted to X, formerly Twitter, by the Fire Department showed the crumpled remains of the vehicle lying near the stopped train.

The collision did not cause the train to derail, and no injuries were reported on board. The crash remains under investigation.
