CHICAGO (STMW) -- A woman is suing Metra claiming the contents of a toilet "exploded" and splattered her as she rode a Joliet-bound train.
Julianna Mandernach filed the suit Thursday in Cook County Circuit Court against the Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corp. and Metra, claiming the Jan. 29, 2009, incident left her with injuries of a “personal and pecuniary nature.”
Mandernach boarded a Metra train on the Chicago-to-Joliet/Rock Island line as a passenger. She used a toilet on the train, and upon flushing, the contents exploded out and "splattered" her, the suit claims.
