November 11, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- The Chicago Transit Authority says a woman's claims that her child was thrown onto the El tracks after her stroller got stuck in the doors of a train may be plausible.
The CTA maintains the train's door was working properly. It's designed to open when something blocks it from closing. But after conducting a series of tests using the stroller, the CTA found there is a possibility the stroller did get stuck in the door.
The child, who was thrown onto the tracks at the Rogers Park Morse Red Line station Nov. 2, was not seriously hurt.
"It appears that what she's been reporting and testified to could have occurred at this time, again nothing faulty with the train," said Richard Rodriguez, CTA president. "They were operating as designed. We will now turn attention to the rail operator."
