<\/div>\n\n\n\n

An online fundraiser has been established to help his family through their time of unimaginable grief and loss.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brother Navarro was an 11-year member of our union and worked as a conductor for UP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He was not just our co-worker, but our brother as well. I cannot describe how this hurts,” Local 18 Secretary & Treasurer Catarino Montero wrote on the online fundraiser page. “I would like for everyone to please pray for his family. They need it more than ever.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brother Navarro is the fourth TD member who has died while in service in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and investigators from the SMART-TD National Safety Team were dispatched to investigate the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SMART Transportation Division expresses its most sincere condolences to Brother Navarro\u2019s family, friends and to his brothers and sisters of Local 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
