Brightline Train Collisions in Melbourne Prompt Safety Concerns

Following a series of fatal incidents, the NTSB is investigating and Melbourne's mayor calls for increased safety measures.

Three people were killed in two separate collisions with a Brightline train at the same crossing in Melbourne, Florida within a week.
Since the Brightline service launched in September, there have been five fatal incidents in Melbourne.
Melbourne Mayor Paul Alfrey has called for enhanced safety measures and a renewed public safety campaign.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the incidents and will release a preliminary report within 30 days.
Brightline's death rate is the highest among the nation's more than 800 railroads, with one death for approximately every 38,000 miles its trains travel.
