ORLANDO, Fla. - Emergency officials said Sunday two monorail trains crashed in the Magic Kingdom section of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., 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 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.
"It's pretty shocking to hear that a driver was killed in that accident," Meus said.
"You would think it would be so safe," said 20-year-old Lauren Shoebottom, who was visiting the park from London. "You don't expect it on holiday, do you?"
The family was planning to take the train again Sunday to visit Disney's Epcot Center, but now planned to take a bus, Meus added.
"It's a bit shocking," said 22-year-old Danielle Williams, of London. "Disney seems so perfect."
