Adding insult to injury
The woman who walked into the light rail tram on Monday -- the 66th documented tram accident -- received a ticket for her mistake:
A 57-year-old Houston woman received a citation from Metro police Monday after she walked into the side of a moving light rail train at Reliant Park Station. The woman, ticketed for failing to obey the pedestrian-crossing signal, was struck by a northbound train entering the station about 8:15 a.m. She received minor injuries and was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where she was treated and released.
One hopes the overbearing Metro cops at least determined if she was okay before forcing her to sign her citation.
