About 4:20am there were a 2 car accident on the eastbound Eisenhower Expressway(I-290) and one of the cars became airborne, jumped over the retainer wall, and the fence that separates the tracks from the highway. When it landed it landed on the westbound blue line track, in the path of a westbound train, the westbound CTA train hit the car, and the driver manages to jump clear of the third rail, and took off from the scene. Reports that the lead car slightly derailed, power is shut off, and service on the CTA was suspended from Pulaski to Harlem stations. Passengers on the train were held while medical workers check each passengers for any injuries.
