Five days later, federal investigators said the engineer, /*Robert Sanchez*/, was text messaging seconds before the crash. Investigators also said that Sanchez failed to heed a red light signal.
The head-on crash between the /*Metrolink*/ train and a /*Union Pacific*/ freight train on September 12, 2008 killed 25 people including the engineer. Another 135 passengers were injured.
Metrolink had no comment on the agreement. Tyrrell has agreed not to make any statements that criticize the agency.
Tyrrell recently was hired to manage the /*California Public Utilities Commission*/'s Los Angeles Office, which regulates Metrolink and other rail agencies.
