The operator of a CTA Yellow Line train that slammed into a snowplow on the tracks last November, injuring more than a dozen people, had alcohol in his system after the crash, a recent federal report found.

A recent report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has revealed that the operator involved in the November 2023 CTA Yellow Line crash had alcohol in his system at the time of the incident.

Good afternoon, Chicago. The operator of a CTA Yellow Line train that slammed into a snowplow on the tracks last November, injuring some two dozen people, had alcohol in his system after the crash, a recent federal report found.

NTSB reports the train operator in last year's Yellow Line crash had a blood-alcohol level over the legal limit.

Nearly 1 year after a CTA Yellow Line train crash left dozens injured, a report says the operator behind the controls of the train at the time had alcohol in their system.

There was new reaction Thursday to an ABC7 I-Team report that the operator of a CTA Yellow Line train that crashed last year had alcohol in his system.

Blood-alcohol levels of 0.05 — roughly what tests measured in the operator's system — have been found to impair judgment, functions and alertness, the report states.
