PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — TriMet officials in Portland are checking surveillance video and MAX train records as they investigate how a train pulled away with a 2-year-old girl on board while her father was still on the platform.

The driver didn’t notice the man Saturday was still trying to load a bike trailer.

KGW reports he pressed the emergency stop buttons on the side of the train, but it kept going. The two were quickly reunited.

TriMet spokeswoman Bekki Witt said it shouldn’t have happened. She also says riders shouldn’t try to board with bike trailers because they are too cumbersome.
