Recorder Article Highlights Walkup Partner

San Francisco's legal newspaper, The Recorder, ran an article today about Saturday's MUNI crash highlighting Walkup partner, Matthew Davis, who is representing two of the victims and considering taking on others.

Preliminary information indicates that the collision could have been avoided if the driver had followed MUNI's safety policies and procedures, which required that the train be in automatic mode, rather than manual mode. The driver's union representative has stated that a medical condition caused the driver to black out, but MUNI has not explained why the driver was allowed to operate a train with this condition.
