One of at least seven people killed in an Amtrak train derailment Tuesday was a Canadian.

He has been identified as Abid Gilani, a senior vice-president with Wells Fargo in New York.

A relative says he was heading home from a funeral when the derailment occurred.


Diane said she heard about the train crash early Wednesday. Concerned for her husband, she got in her car to drive to Philadelphia, and was just outside the city limits when she was told she was needed for identification.
