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:

    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!
