A speeding light rail train incident that caused several passengers to fall was due to "operator fatigue," the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency said on Monday.

The incident happened on Sept. 24, 2025, around 8:37 a.m. near Duboce Park. According to the SFMTA, the two-car light rail train was heading into downtown through the Sunset Tunnel when it began to gain speed. When it approached the curve at the tunnel exit, it was going at an excessive speed of 50 mph, the SFMTA said.

As a result, multiple passengers were knocked into each other, and some of them fell.
