Danger Train: Collision #75 (3)
KPRC-2 is reporting a Danger Train collision:
Two METRORail riders were injured Wednesday morning when the train they were riding collided with a passenger car in southwest Houston.
The collision occurred at 10:03 a.m. at Fannin and Hermann Drive, near the Museum District Fountains.
Police have not said who is responsible for the collision.
The victims were transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital. Their conditions have not been released.
It's hard to believe Metro police chief Tom Lambert didn't waddle himself out to denounce Houston drivers for being unsafe. Maybe he was having breakfast.

Accident 75 has not been blamed on the driver (yet). He says he had a green light.
I have experienced a similar situation at Blodgett and Fannin, where Fannin had green, train comes, Fannin gets green again. Second train comes, Fannin gets green, light changes, Blodgett gets green for less than three seconds, then short yellow and red for third train.
In this scenario, I was glad I saw the train, and waited, otherwise, I would have been a statistic.
Metro in motion (what's moving? We aren't)
