Danger Train: Collision #53
They always seem to come in bunches, don't they?
And they show no signs of stopping.
That's right, there was another Danger Train collision:
An illegal left turn caused the 53rd accident involving Houston's light-rail system since it began operating in November 2003, METRO officials told News2Houston.
A vehicle carrying two people made an illegal left turn around 9:45 a.m. Thursday, colliding with a train traveling south between Fannin and Dryden, according to officials.
Officials cited the driver for the collision.
No injuries were reported.
Sorry I'm a little slow with the update. I've had a busy day.
A world class city doesn't stop being that way just because its (blog) chroniclers are busy, however!
(Update) Lucas Wall is calling this collision #54 in the Comical, but I think he's wrong. John Gaver's counter is consistent with my count (#53).

I love that writing:
"A vehicle carrying two people made an illegal left turn"
Just all by itself! Self-propelled, or whatever. Those two people inside were helplessly along for the ride as this out of control car drove itself into an illegal left turn. Amazing!
