It is awful and unacceptable that 10 people were murdered in the subway system in 2024. Convert that to the standard way of measuring mortality risk, deaths per 100,000 population, and the risk for someone who rode the subway 500 times in 2024 is 0.4 in 100,000. The risk of being murdered underground is ... orders of magnitude less than the risk of dying from a traffic accident elsewhere in the U.S.
The collision occurred Saturday afternoon at Highway 50 and Coleraine Drive, involving four vehicles and resulting in multiple injuries, including one critical case.
Seamus Hanrahan, a 53-year-old truck driver, was sentenced to 10 months in jail and banned from driving for three years after driving through a stop-sign junction.
A man in his early 40s who was the passenger in one vehicle, and a man in his mid-40s who was the driver of another vehicle were treated at the scene but sadly died from their injuries.
