Governor Andrew Cuomo has deployed state emergency officials to Pennsylvania to provide support after last night's fatal Amtrak accident in Philadelphia.

New York National Guard personnel and officials from the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services are traveling to Pennsylvania to assist in ongoing response efforts.

Cuomo says he called Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf to express his support and let him know that New York stands ready to help in any way possible.

At least six people were killed and more then 200 were injured when an Amtrak train traveling from Washington D.C. to New York City derailed.
