A woman is suing Metra after the contents of a toilet allegedly "exploded" and splattered her as she rode a Joliet-bound train.
Julianna Mandernach filed the suit 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, the suit claims. She used a toilet on the train, and upon flushing, the contents exploded out of the toilet and "splattered" her.
The suit claims Metra permitted Mandernach and other passengers to use the toilet when they should have known it was not working properly. Metra should have repaired and replace the toilet, and also failed to barricade, rope or block off the toilet from public use. The suit seeks unspecified damages, as well as costs of the suit
