The trams to and from the Mickey & Friends structure are not running at this time. CMs will say only that there was an accident, a guest I spoke with said that it appears the tram hit a wall or barrier making the turn leaving the structure. One guest witness says there are injuries, I have not been able to confirm this yet.

A cast member has reported to AVP that a tram hit a sign on the tram way, and that there were no injuries. We are still working to obtain further details.

A Disneyland spokesperson told MousePlanet that around 11:10am today one of the trams leaving the Mickey and Friends structure hit a sign, causing minr damage to the last car. A few guests were treated on scene for scratches. The trams were taken out of service for a sort time and are back in service.

Based on the timing, could the CM driving have seen the person commiting suicide? Not something that I'd want to see, and if I was driving something really big, I might take a corner short or wide.

The driver was driving North, and his only overhead view would have been of the freeway overpass. The suicide was on the opposite side of the resort, facing the other direction.

Thanks, Adrienne.

Since I never park in Mickey & Friends - and don't know the hotel layout well, I really have no clue of the proximities.
