Crash Resistant Trains for Los Angeles MetroLink
Posted By Los Angeles MetroLink Accident Lawyer on Mar 15, 2010 4:15pm PDT
MetroLink has received two of their many new crash resistant trains. The new cars will replace older cars in an attempt to reduce the amount of
Los Angeles MetroLink accident injuries. The new train cars are supposed to withstand the impact of a train accident and have a feature known as "crush zone" technology. The train cars will undergo extensive testing and MetroLink is anticipating optimum results with the crash resistant technology.
This type of technology was taken into consideration after the tragic MetroLink accidents of 2005 and 2008 which led to the deaths of 36 people in total. Investigations into MetroLink accidents in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas have revealed that many were caused by
conductor negligence and cell phone abuse. Will the crash resistant, "crush zone" technology of the new cars be enough to prevent train accident inures? Only time will tell, however physical injuries are not the only damages to consider in the event of a train accident.
