The struck train came to a stop because of traffic ahead. Because the entire train was within the faulty circuit, it became invisible to the <a href="/wiki/Automatic_train_control" title="Automatic train control">Automatic Train Control</a> (ATC) system. The train behind it was therefore commanded to proceed at 55 mph (89 km/h). The operator of the striking train applied the emergency brake after the stopped train came into full view, but there was not enough time to prevent the collision, which occurred at approximately 49 mph (79 km/h).<a href="#cite_note-NTSBreport-1">[1]</a> <div id="toc" class="toc" role="navigation" aria-labelledby="mw-toc-heading"><input type="checkbox" role="button" id="toctogglecheckbox"

Other trains had received speed commands of 0 when traveling through this circuit, but had enough forward momentum to make it to the next circuit and resume detection and receipt of speed commands from the ATC system. Train 214 was going slower than normal because it was being driven in manual mode by its operator, and it came to a stop while remaining on circuit B2-304 and was therefore invisible. Train 112 behind it was given full speed (55 mph [89 km/h]) commands by the ATC to proceed on the track. The investigation found that the emergency brakes had been applied by the operator of train 112 when train 214 came into view but it was too late to avert the collision, which occurred with a speed of about 49 mph (79 km/h).<a href="#cite_note-NTSBreport-1">[1]</a> A series of near-collisions in 2005 in similar circumstances in the tunnel between <a href="/wiki/Foggy_Bottom%E2%80%93GWU_station" title="Foggy Bottom–GWU station">Foggy Bottom</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rosslyn_station" title="Rosslyn station">Rosslyn</a> stations led to a new test procedure that would have identified the faulty circuit after installation.

In 2006, the NTSB cited the 1000-Series cars as "vulnerable to catastrophic telescoping damage and complete loss of occupant survival space in a longitudinal end-structure collision". It recommended refurbishment of the entire series after a 2004 collision at the <a href="/wiki/Woodley_Park_(WMATA_station)" class="mw-redirect" title="Woodley Park (WMATA station)">Woodley Park</a> station in which a 1000-Series Rohr car telescoped into another train.<a href="#cite_note-CityPaper-35">[35]</a> In this case, NTSB's Hersman confirmed that, "the first car [of the striking train] overrode the rear car [of the struck train], and much of the survivable space on that first car of the striking train was compromised".<a href="#cite_note-CNN-8">[8]</a> The NTSB called for the accelerated retirement of the 1000-Series cars, or urged that they be "retrofitted with <a href="/wiki/Crashworthiness" title="Crashworthiness">crashworthiness</a> collision protection that is comparable to <a href="/wiki/Washington_Metro_rolling_stock#6000-series" title="Washington Metro rolling stock">6000-Series car</a> railcars."<a href="#cite_note-NTSB-36">[36]</a> Additionally, the 1000-Series cars lack data recorders that could be used in determining the cause of a crash.<a href="#cite_note-WashPost-7">[7]</a> During the press conference, Catoe stated that he had "no basis to suspend the use of 1000-Series cars at this time",<a href="#cite_note-CityPaper-35">[35]</a> but WMATA later announced a decision to stop using the 1000-Series cars as the lead or trailing units of any trains.<a href="#cite_note-WT0626-37">[37]</a> On June 24, WMATA issued a press release stating that the agency is "not likely to know the cause for several weeks or months as the investigation unfolds."<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> Twenty-four hours after the incident, the NTSB confirmed that evidence indicated that the emergency brake had been engaged by the operator.
