Blind Metro Patron Dies From Collision

A blind Rockville man succumbed to injuries he sustained this last weekend when he was struck by a Metro train at the Gallery Place-Chinatown Station.

This wrongful death is not the first for a blind-person and raises questions about the safe usage of the Metro system by blind patrons.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/30/AR2009123002519.html

 Metro reports that this is the third incident in 2009 in which a patron has fallen onto the tracks.
