Beer Cans? You Don't Say?
Ah, yet another new category of light-rail debacle: traffic that manages to shut down service without actually hitting the train!
KHOU-11 has the best coverage:
That's a shocker.Pedestrians and even two metro police officers were running for their lives in downtown Houston Saturday night.
A pick-up truck flipped at Main and Preston and landed on top of the light rail tracks right next to a station. The truck took out several pedestrian rails.
Witnesses say it was the noise that first attracted their attention.
Nobody was seriously injured.
Police continue to investigate. They found several beer cans inside and near the truck.
KHOU has a cool slideshow on their site. It must be seen to be believed. I'm really not making these rail-related incidents up!
Here's ABC-13's less exciting coverage.
