Chicago: At least 48 people have been taken to various hospitals in Chicago after two trains collided at the height of the city's morning rush hour.
Media reports say the accident took place just before 8 a.m. on the Blue Line — part of the Chicago Transit Authority's 24-hour rapid transit service between O'Hare International Airport and the Forest Park terminal, the western terminus of the line. The Blue Line runs through downtown Chicago.
The collision occurred near Harlem Avenue and Interstate 290 when a westbound train was struck by an eastbound train, an NBC news report said.
