Washington, March 5 (TIWN) An Amtrak engineer was acquitted by a jury in the deadly 2015 train derailment in Philadelphia.

A jury deliberated for less than two hours before reaching an acquittal verdict Friday for Brandon Bostian, now 39. Bostian was the engineer on board Amtrak 188, which derailed while carrying 238 passengers, according to court documents. He faced charges including eight counts of involuntary manslaughter, causing or risking a catastrophe and multiple counts of reckless endangerment. CNN has reached out to Bostian's attorney for comment.
