The family of a woman killed when a train slammed into a truck last month in Clarendon Hills alleges in a lawsuit that Metra should have known of the unsafe conditions that led to the accident.
Christina Lopez, 72, was thrown from the window of the train the morning of May 11 after the train hit a box truck that was stopped on the tracks at Prospect Avenue. The force of the impact was so great that the wreckage wrapped around the train and tore through the side.
