- A video shows a San Francisco Muni train operator apparently falling asleep moments before a July 31 crash between two empty trains near 47th Avenue and Wawona Street.
- The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) initially attributed the collision to operator fatigue and ruled out vehicle or infrastructure issues.
- No passengers were on board during the crash, and no injuries were reported.
- This is not the first fatigue-related incident involving Muni operators; a similar case in September involved an operator dozing off on a crowded train, prompting a fatigue-awareness campaign by the SFMTA.
- The investigation into the July 31 collision is still ongoing.
