Danger Train: Collision #60
There was another Danger Train collision overnight:
Accidents keep happening for Houston's light rail train ? the latest happened in downtown Houston Wednesday.
A woman was hospitalized after driving onto the rail line just as the train came down Main Street at Pierce.
Police say she ran a red light but should be OK, but she'll probably get a ticket because eyewitnesses saw her run the red light.
This is accident number 58.
By my count, that's number 60. Maybe that should qualify the Danger Train for early retirement? :)
Here is additional coverage from the Comical
(Update) Here is coverage from KPRC-2.

Maybe the street-level train was a bad idea, but let's face it: what we've really learned here are that Houston drivers are relentlessly breaking the traffic laws. Wouldn't they be nearly as dangerous to other drivers even if there was no train?

Cars can stop faster than the train, so I don't think drivers are a greater danger than el tren peligroso.

We call it 'The Darwin Train' at my house.

LAV Monorail just lost a wheel. No SUVs or bystanders were hit.
Maybe they know something in Vegas that we don't?
