In addition, 5 guests and 2 other Disney World cast members, onboard at the time of the Disney World Monorail crash, left the monorail crash scene without injuries.

Our hearts go out to his family and to those who have lost a friend and co-worker. The safety of our guests and cast members is always our top priority.
