On January 6, 2003, Metro link commuter train 210 struck a Ford F-550 crew cab, stake bed truck at a grade crossing in Burbank, California. Upon impact, the truck's cab moved with the train, until the train derailed about 1,300 feet from the crossing. The truck driver was fatally injured. Of the train's 59 passengers and 2 crewmembers, 32 sustained injuries; 1 passenger died 15 days later from internal injuries that were probably sustained during the accident. The major safety issues discussed in this report are the use of 'all-red-flash' railroad hold intervals at signalized highway-rail grade crossings and adherence to applicable engineering guidance in designing traffic signals and other safety features at grade crossings.
