"Some of these comments are mortifying. 

"I was on the southbound train this morning. We were the first train to drive by the accident and then the train that "housed" those who had been on the train involved in the accident as well as the police officers beginning their investigation. I also had the misfortune of seeing this woman's mangled body. It's something I would have never imagined seeing or being a "part" of. I felt like I was in a horror movie or on CSI...it did not feel like real life.

"Instead of using this as a time to "complain" I think we should all send our thoughts and prayers to those that were ON the train in the accident, the conductor driving that train, and most of all the family members and friends of this woman. This is a time of year for many to celebrate and receive gifts and eat wonderful food...somewhere a family will be mourning the death of this woman...and of many others involved in car accidents, shootings, etc."

The last pedestrain fatality involving the Light Rail was reported in 2009, when two 17-year-old boys were struck by a train from behind, while walking in the middle of track, according to the Baltimore Sun.
