rear end collision

Both trains were going in the same direction on the same track. One was stopped and the second approached at a high speed. The operator of the first lived but the operator of the striking train died and the striking train was also an older one that does not have the data recorders that the other one had, so learning the exact cause may be tricky. The trains have an automatic mode to keep them from colliding during rush hour when there are many on the same track. This was during rush hour. The train's auto mode can be overridden, but I haven't heard yet whether that was the case.
