Driver Crashes Train Near Naval Hospital Ship in L.A. Port to Promote Conspiracy Theory
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In California, federal prosecutors have charged a locomotive driver who
deliberately derailed a train Tuesday and crashed it near the U.S. Navy
hospital ship Mercy, which is docked at the Port of Los Angeles to
relieve the burden on hospitals strained by COVID-19 patients.
Forty-four-year-old driver Eduardo Moreno reportedly outlined a
conspiracy theory to investigators alleging the ship was sent as part of
a "government takeover."
