NTSB Schedules Hearing on Goodwell,OK Train Wreck
The National Transportation Safety Board plans a hearing on a head-on train collision in the Oklahoma Panhandle. It's set for February 26th in Washington, D.C.
According to the Associated Press, the crash between eastbound and westbound Union Pacific trains near Goodwell, Oklahoma killed three of four crew members on the two trains. It happened on June 24th of last year.
A fourth crew member was hurt but did survive.
Crews say he jumped from one of the trains just before the crash.
An NTSB preliminary report said the eastbound train was traveling at 64 miles per hour and the westbound train at 38 miles per hour when they slammed into each other. The speed limit is 70 miles per hour.
The NTSB has said it's analyzing recorders found in the wreckage to determine if the crews were receiving signals properly.
