A judge on Thursday divided $200 million among victims of the disastrous 2008 collision of two trains but it may not be enough.
The Metrolink crash in Chatsworth in 2008 left 25 people dead and more than 100 injured. Federal safety officials said the passenger train’s engineer didn’t stop at a red signal. The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the engineer had been texting seconds before he drove through the signal.
A judge assigned to allocate the money awarded by the train companies gave $4.2 million to survivors of each adult killed and $1.2 million to each child who died.
