Walt Disney World monorail crash kills employee

ORLANDO, Fla. – Emergency officials said 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, said one train operator died at the scene of the crash, which happened at about 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 said it was unclear what caused the crash. Orange County Sheriff’s officials are investigating the cause.

“It’s a bit shocking,” said 22-year-old Danielle Williams, a guest from London. “Disney seems so perfect.”
