Teen hit by trolley survives with only leg injuries

Posted on April 4th, 2011 No Comments

Last week, a 19-year old man survived being trapped under a trolley for an hour and escaped the accident with only leg injuries.  The teen, James Tyson, was running to catch the trolley at the 69th Street Terminal and trying to get the conductor’s attention when the sidewalk narrowed and he became trapped between the trolley car and fencing.

Tyson fell and became trapped underneath the trolley car.  Emergency crews and paramedics were able to rescue the man by shutting off the rail system and using air bags to lift the car up.  Tyson was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with non-life-threatening leg injuries.
