LIGHT RAIL TRAIN CRASH HURTS DOZENS ON SF MUNI METRO AFTER OPERATOR BLACKS OUT.
There were three major rail crash accidents in the past 10 months in the US, and now there has been a fourth. Californians rely on public transportation in many forms including buses, minibuses, vans, trains, subways, and light rail, and, as a public transportation user, you have every right to a safe transit and commute. But a string of rail or train accidents have left both Northern and Southern California riders reeling. A Muni Metro light rail train rear-ended another train at a boarding platform in San Francisco, hurting 47 people. Whether train accidents are the fault of operator error, product malfunction or debris on the tracks, injured passengers need legal counsel immediately. Call 1-800-ALAWPRO now if you or a loved one has been hurt in a CA rail or train crash.
The SF metro light rail accident occurred in the afternoon when the Municipal Railway L train slammed into a K train. Of the 47 injured people, four were seriously hurt, and 15 went to the ER. Injuries included lacerations, broken ribs and concussions. According to the SF transit workers union, the train driver blacked out due to a medical condition prior to the crash. Investigators have found that the train was on manual mode, against regulations, in an attempt to speed up boarding and unloading. Apparently, switching from automatic to manual to hurry stops is a common but forbidden practice. The auto mode is designed to prevent collisions, among other things.
