A San Francisco Bay area commuter train derailed Monday night, leaving 14 people injured, with four in serious condition.

A California commuter train derailed Monday night and plunged into a creek swollen from El Nino-powered rain storms.

Fourteen people were injured after the Altamont Corridor Express, known as the ACE train, struck a fallen tree and went off the tracks around 7:15 p.m., officials said.

The train's first car completely derailed and became partially submerged in Alameda Creek. The second car also left the tracks but remained upright.

A total of 214 people were aboard the train, which departed San Jose about 6:40 p.m. and was scheduled to arrive in Stockton by 9 p.m., the LA Times reports.

Firefighters completed their work at the scene by 2 a.m.

Nonetheless, all ACE trains were canceled for Tuesday.
