A train engineer who intentionally ran a train off the tracks at full speed toward a hospital ship at the Port of Los Angeles has been sentenced to three years in jail.
Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro, has also been ordered to pay $755,880 in restitution, according to US authorities.
The incident took place in early 2020 when the USNS Mercy was deployed to California to provide medical relief during the early months of the Covid pandemic.
