Just seen this on Screamscape, not sure of all the details yet, but it looks like the driver was killed in the collision.
Very sad for all concerned, especially on the 4th of July.

Wow, he seemed a great bloke. You would'nt get that on the Monorail at Alton Towers. If only all Theme Park staff were that friendly.
Such a shame  Crying or Very sad
