SAN FRANCISCO -- A video appears to show a train operator falling asleep moments before a July 31 crash involving two empty Muni trains. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency says the incident was initially determined to have been caused by operator fatigue.
The video obtained by the group NorCal Bodycam and shared with ABC7 Bay Area appears to show the operator asleep before the train crashes into the rear of another train ahead of it, shattering window glass.
The collision occurred on the morning of July 31 near the intersection of 47th Avenue and Wawona Street, north of the San Francisco Zoo. Fire officials said both trains were empty of passengers at the time of the crash.
