The crash occurred last month when a Caltrain carrying about 75 passengers hit three maintenance vehicles.
Maintenance vehicles hit by a Caltrain in San Bruno last month received authorization to be on the tracks 43 minutes before the crash, but then released that approval eight minutes later, according to a preliminary National Transportation Safety Board report released Wednesday.
On March 10, southbound Caltrain train #506, which was carrying about 75 passengers, hit three stationary hi-rail maintenance vehicles at about 10:33 a.m. near a milepost on the track, according to the NTSB report. The train was derailed, destroying all three maintenance vehicles. Fuel from the vehicles also fueled a fire that spread to a passenger rail car. Fourteen people were injured, including 12 passengers, one train crew member and a maintenance contractor.
Employees of the San Bruno Water Corporation Yard used work equipment at the scene. First responders also arrived at the scene. Passengers and crew were evacuated and the fire was under control by 11:14 a.m.
