Metro Train-Bus Crash Puts 9 in Hospital

DOWNTOWN HOUSTON - There were tense moments in downtown Houston when a bus and train crashed into each other Monday afternoon around 3:30. Strangely, both the bus and train belong to the Metro system.

Metro officials said the bus is at fault for running a red light at Main Street while headed west on St. Joseph Parkway.

Nine people, including the bus driver, were hurt bad enough they had to take an ambulance ride to the hospital.

The story is here.
