A monorail train at Walt Disney World crashed into the back of another train early Sunday, killing one driver, according to an amusement park spokesman and a witness interviewed by CNN. The crash occurred about 2 a.m. at one of the monorail stops at Disney World in Florida, said the witness, who requested anonymity.
The witness said one monorail train rammed into the back of a stationary train. A photo of the crash provided by the witness showed the front car of a train badly damaged where it hit another train at a station.
According to the witness, a family of six in one train was freed from a damaged car. The witness said the family was shaken but uninjured
Mike Griffin, Disney's vice president for public affairs, said in a statement,
Today we mourn the loss of our fellow cast member...we will continue to work closely will law enforcement to determine what happened and the appropriate next steps.
Thats very sad, I imagine Disney will take many more safety precautions after this. I remember when we were there, they always seem safety conscientious. Take small children by the hand, watch your step etc. Every single time you got on and off.
