Just before the Phoenix light rail started service I posted a video of light rail collisions from some other unnamed city. Three months in to our own light rail line here and videos and stories of trains hitting vehicles are already popping up. Here’s a video of the light rail hitting a truck and a car, you might notice that the 2nd car runs for it. I wonder if they were able to get his license plate number form the vid?

Here’s a story from a local blogger that was on a train that hit a car. My Phoenix light rail crash

KPHO also did a story about how drivers aren’t paying attention to the light rail signs. Drivers Not Following Light Rail Signs

The good news though is that light rail ridership is higher than projected. Seems it has become a popular form of mass transit here in Phoenix!
