ORLANDO, FL -- Federal investigators are focusing on why a switch failed to change positions in the monorail crash that killed an operator at Walt Disney World over the weekend.
The National Transportation Safety Board reported Wednesday that no malfunctions have been found with the automatic train stop system, nor with any mechanical parts of the switch. No mechanical problems were found with the two trains that collided Sunday.
The accident killed 21-year-old Austin Wuennenberg.
The NTSB says a pink train was changing tracks when it backed up into a purple train with Wuennenberg at the controls. The agency says it appears Wuennenberg tried to put the train in reverse to avoid the collision.
