Emergency officials say two monorail trains crashed in the Magic Kingdom section of Walt Disney World, killing one train's operator.
Bo Jones, deputy chief for Reedy Creek Fire Department, says one
train operator died at the scene of the crash, which happened
around 2 a.m. Sunday. The other train operator was not injured, but
was taken to a hospital because he was emotionally shaken. Five
park guests were treated at the scene.
Jones says it is unclear what caused the crash. Orange County
Sheriff's officials are investigating the cause.
Jones says the crash happened at the park's ticket and
transportation center.
Walt Disney World vice president of public affairs Mike Griffin
issued a statement offering condolences to the employee's family
and saying the monorail was closed.
