the worst streetcar crash in US history was on May 25th, 1950 on 63rd and S State St in Chicago
the Green Hornet Streetcar collided with a gas truck. This was a combination of inattention by the operator, to avoid a flooded underpass the motorman entered the switch at full speed which made the streetcar jump the tracks and hit the truck. 34 people died, and people were left homeless due to buildings burning down.
