Gray said that a small supply train leaving the tunnel lost control and hit a parked train. It is unclear whether the two men on the moving train jumped off or were thrown to the ground. Both men were taken to the Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where one man died. The other man has non-life threatening injuries. Investigators still are working to figure out why the train lost control.
