ATLANTA — Federal investigators have released a new report on the probable cause of an accident involving a MARTA worker more than a year ago.

The National Transportation Safety Board said insufficient worker safety procedures contributed to a the employee being hit by a train in October of 2024.

The agency’s report also found that the designated lookout person was doing something else when the train approached and failed to see the oncoming train.

The injured worker was part of a team of technicians performing maintenance work on train approach lights between the Arts Center Station and Lindbergh Center Station in Atlanta.

The train strike caused the worker’s leg to be amputated below the knee.
