Overhead electrical lines that detached above the track sparked a DART train fire that injured 11 in downtown Dallas in late July, the National Transportation Board Safety confirmed Tuesday.

The NTSB said its investigators are now reviewing DART's maintenance and safety procedures.

What happened

According to Dallas Fire-Rescue, just after 3:30 p.m. on July 30, crews were called to the Pearl/Arts District station after a DART train caught fire.

On-scene personnel said the train came to a stop just before fully entering the tunnel at the station.

Video from the scene showed burn and scorch marks on top of one of the train cars, and a passenger caught video of the fire and people trying to escape the area. DART train fire sends 9 to hospital by CBS TEXAS on YouTube
