One wonders if this would have made the news if the ambulance hadn't been hit.

At least we know it wasn't an SUV that hit the ambulance, if it were the headline would have been "SUV hits Ambulance."

Yeah, it would. It would be buried in the "Area Briefs" in the Houston Chronicle Metro section. They've started burying rail crash stories to protect the Choo-Choo.

A witness told officials that the woman who collided with the ambulance was trying to run a red light. Stupid person.
METRO officials told News2Houston the pedestrian struck by the light-rail train reportedly stepped in front of the train illegally.
Stupid person.

But, by golly, Houston is going to be a "World Class City" because of this Hooterville Trolley! If ya don't believe it, just ask those people over at the Houston Comical and METRO!
The number of cars on the road will be reduced, if not for any other reason, than by attrition.

This is number 26. The last real report said we were on pace for 44 for the year, the worst record in light rail startup in US history.
The pace has obviously quickened. Light rail only covers 7.5 miles in Houston today. The carnage figures in 20 years should be really impressive.

Help me refresh my memory here... Didn't Tom DeLay oppose the building of this train? Seems to me he took a lot of heat from the local media over that.

That train is cursed. There have been so many accidents here in Houston involving it.

A friend of mine was hit while driving on the interstate. The responding officer had her sit in the back of his car for safety. While sitting in his squad car, she was hit again. It made the news.
