VTA Resumes Light Rail Service After Deadly San Jose Crash - News Article Locations on Waymarking.com

"The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority announced early Monday morning that normal light-rail train operations will resume on the Winchester-Mountain View line after a double-fatal train collision with a vehicle on the tracks Sunday required repairs to be made, transit officials said.

The transit agency announced the completed repairs at 5 a.m., and said trains would be running at a restricted 5 mph speed through the repair area today, which may cause delays. The crash damaged an overhead pole and wires that power the train, transit officials said.

VTA spokeswoman Brandi Childress said test trains have been running through the area overnight and Monday morning, but a time for when the speed limit would be lifted wasn’t provided.

Childress said bus bridges are standing by, but said the agency is confident the repairs to the track are complete.

Two people died in the collision with the light-rail train Sunday afternoon after the car allegedly drove through the blocked crossing, San Jose police said.

Police responded to the crash at about 12:34 p.m. at Lincoln and Auzerais avenues in San Jose. According to police, a gold Buick Regal traveling south on Lincoln Avenue approached the train crossing at the 500 block of the street, according to police."
