Monorail accident?

[eam]

Has anyone heard anything about an accident involving the monorail at WDW? Just saw a little bit on the news and it said that one driver was killed. I hope all is well and this might not be true.

I was just about to post the same question. My Dad said he saw it on Fox News channel. Is this true?!?!?!?

I just posted the story in the "News"forum.

From local 6 news website

At 2am Sunday morning, Reedy Creek Emergency Services responded to a call at the Ticket and Transportation Center at the Magic Kingdom. Two monorails collided. 8 people were evaluated total following the crash. One monorail driver was killed. The other driver is fine physically. There were 5 to 6 guests on the monorail at the time of the crash. Disney World Public Relations tells Local 6 that they will release more information later this morning. They are on scene right now gathering information about the incident.

A witness tells Local 6 that he heard a huge crashing noise when the monorails collided. He was able to get pictures and video of frazzled guests walking off the train.

Another report indicates that a moving pink train hit a stationary purple train.

Local 6 has obtained dramatic pictures from the scene of the crash. Stay with Local 6 for more information about this crash.

It is true, apparently an Epcot Monorail rear ended another killing the driver. Just read about it on one of the Orlando new sation's website. How very sad.
