Danger Train: Collision #102?
KRIV-26 reports a Danger Train collision today, near the Medical Center.
The best guess at the moment is that it was Collision #102.
I'll post a link if anybody else covers it.
UPDATE (07-27-2005): Callie posts the link to the Chronicle (yeah, that Chronicle) coverage:
A MetroRail train and a private ambulance collided at 4:44 p.m. Tuesday in the Texas Medical Center, the transit authority said today. It was the 97th light rail collision since the trains began running in November 2003.
Metropolitan Transit Authority spokesman Ken Connaughton said there were no injuries. He said the driver of the ambulance was cited for making an illegal left turn into the path of the train.
No, it wasn't the 97th collision. Best estimate is that it was #102.
At least medical personnel were quickly on the scene this time.
