Disney World Monorail Train Accident Kills 1

An accident involving two monorail trains at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida left 1 person dead. A park spokesman says the crash happened at 2 a.m. Sunday.

A witness says a train ran into the back of a stationary train at Disney World’s Ticket and Transport Center in the Magic Kingdom section of the park. Seven guests were on board the moving train at the time of the accident. None of them were injured.

The 21-year-old driver, identified as Austin Wuennenberg, was killed and a second employee was taken to a hospital to be evaluated. The monorail system was shut down after the accident. Authorities are investigating the crash.

“It’s a terrible day for us. Our hearts go out to Austin and his family,” says Disney’s vice president for public affairs, Mike Griffin.

“He always enjoyed his work at Disney, and especially enjoyed his work as a monorail pilot. He has many great friends who he has positively influenced; everyone will truly miss this dynamic young man,” Wuennenberg’s family said in a statement.
