SEPTA Bus and Trolley Collide; No Serious Injuries by KYW's Ian Bush More than a dozen people were hurt, but none seriously, on Monday afternoon when a Septa bus and trolley collided in Philadelphia's Kingsessing section. A Septa spokesman says the accident happened around 2:45pm near the intersection of 49th Street and Woodland Avenue, between a Route 11 trolley and a Route 52 bus. At least 19 people were taken to a local hospital and were reported to have only minor injuries. Septa says the accident is under investigation. |

I know car 9033 was the Rt. 11 involved, and the post-accident investigation revealed a bad V-Tag & Bad Brakes. V-tag is on operator's console in which you enter your route & it will control all electric switches usually requiring turn signal assistance! |

No, this collision happened at 50th & Woodland during the 49th St. Rail-Renewal & the Rt. 52 was laying over on 50Th St. The trolley was Eastbound at the switch when the V-Tag activated the switch causing the trolley to turn left into the bus which was about to make a right on Woodland. |
