EVERETTE, Wash. (KCPQ) -- A mudslide derailed an Amtrak train in Washington state on Sunday.

The train, traveling south from Everett to Seattle, ran into the mudslide and some dangerous debris around 8:30 Sunday morning.

The crash knocked three cars off the tracks, but no one was injured.

The derailed cars were disconnected, and the passengers were taken to Mukilteo, Washington where they were transferred to a bus bound for Seattle.

The cause of the slide is under investigation.
