Danger Train: Collision #34
To answer Rob Booth's question from earlier -- of course this collision counts!
Here are the details from KHOU-11:
I love how KHOU notes that Metro hopes to cut down on accidents by adjusting traffic lights. How many of you kind readers have a Danger Train Traffic Light at the edge of YOUR driveway? Just curious.Metro recorded its 34th light rail accident on Monday.
A driver backing out of a private driveway in the Texas Medical Center area grazed a train.
No one was hurt and the damage was minimal.
Adjusting traffic lights is one way Metro plans to help decrease the accident rate. Metro has the highest accident rate for any rail line in the country.
The Comical has coverage buried here, and KPRC-2's coverage is here. Action America keeps track of the accidents in an amusing fashion here.
We're world class!
