Overview
- A Yellow Line train struck a vehicle on Tuesday, July 14, forcing the CTA to suspend rail service on the Skokie–Howard corridor.
- The CTA requested shuttle buses to run between Skokie and Howard and advised riders to use alternate routes such as the No. 97 Skokie bus.
- On-scene video and reporting showed passengers evacuated from the train and an SUV with rear-end damage, and Skokie police were present at the scene.
- Officials have not released information on injuries or the precise cause, and the CTA and local police say an investigation is ongoing.
- The Yellow Line is a short connector between Skokie and Howard, so the suspension is likely to cause delays for local commuters until service is restored.
