Philadelphia SEPTA Trolley Accident Sends Injured to Area Hospitals
Yesterday, in center city Philadelphia, three SEPTA Trolleys crashed underground injuring at least ten people. The passengers injured on the SEPTA trolley were taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for treatment.
The SEPTA trolley accident occurred when the Route 13 Trolley and the Route 36 Green Line trolley were sitting idle after unloading passengers when a third SEPTA trolley crashed into the two stopped trolleys. It is unclear why or how this could have occurred.
SEPTA spokesman, Francis Kelly, attempted to downplay the incident, telling reporters "Let's say a minor banging incident of the trolley in front." Despite this attempt to minimize the trolley accident, Kelly admitted that he could not confirm the speed of the incoming trolley. We know the trolley accident was hard enough to send multiple people to the hospital, including all three SEPTA trolley operators.
