Two transit workers die after being struck by train near S.F.
Train under “computer control” at the time
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will be investigating the deaths of two San Francisco area transit workers who were killed on Saturday when they were struck by a commuter train.
The fatalities came amid a strike by employees of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system. A statement by BART said the train was being run in automatic mode under computer control at the time of the accident, and that an “experienced operator” was at the controls.
