SEPTA Train Wreck Hurts 42 Individuals in Upper DarbyForty-two individuals sustained personal injuries in a train wreck involving a SEPTA train on Tuesday morning.

SEPTA provides commuters and other travelers with convenient modes of transportation, but when a train wreck or bus accident occurs, the results may be devastating, and cause not only personal injuries but potential fatalities as well. Although train accidents may be caused by a negligent train operator, an accident may also occur due to faulty brakes or poor vehicle maintenance.
