Train Derailment at O'Hare Leaves 30 Injured
About 30 people were injured -- none seriously -- when a Chicago Transit Authority train derailed at the Blue Line's O'Hare station early Monday morning.
The train continued through the end of the platform and struck the escalators that lead to the airport terminals just before 3 a.m.
"The train actually climbed over the last stop, jumped up on the sidewalk and then went up the stairs and escalators," Chicago Fire Department Commissioner Jose Santiago.
He said it was immediately unknown if the train's operator had some sort of medical problem prior to the crash.
