Danger Train: Collision #61
The Danger Train has suffered Collision #61:
Police say a suspected drunk man could have gotten himself killed overnight when he walked in front of a light rail train in downtown Houston.
Officers say the man just walked right in front of an oncoming train on Main near Lamar. Authorities say if the engineer had not slowed down, the man could have been killed. Instead, he suffered minor injuries and was taken to Ben Taub Hospital.
Granted, the man was apparently drunk and ran into the train, but since Metro always insists no collision is ever the fault of the train, we'll just stick to noting the collisions and let readers decide fault.
We report, you decide.
(Update) KHOU-11 has a blurb here, and KPRC-2 has a report here.

If an SUV had hit the guy, the media would tell us that the SUV was at fault.
