On July 2, 1991, about 8:45 p.m., Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) train 6612 struck the rear of a westbound GCRTA equipment train of the GCRTA Red Line near the West 98th Street station. GCRTA train 6612 had 1 operator and 28 passengers on board; the equipment train had only an operator on board. Both operators and 13 passengers sustained minor injuries. The GCRTA estimates damage to the trains at $5,500. As a result of its investigation of this accident, the Safety Board has identified two safety issues: Adequacy of the GCRTA's management oversight program, including the procedures for enforcing the operating rules and supervising train operations; and Adequacy of the GCRTA's rulebook.
