Police Respond To Strollergate Doubts
The stroller in question from ATU handout, via the Trib As a union leader expressed doubt about the recent stroller incident at the Morse Red Line stop, police have now called the mother's account "credible" and say there's no evidence of any shenanigans, though the investigation, including interviews, continues. While the union leader expressed doubt over the lack of damage to the stroller, police say traces of paint on the stroller back up her story. The Tribune report also says the stroller was not turned over to the CTA until some five stops later. Union officials claim the stroller (pictured right) would be more heavily damage from hitting guardrails. Initial tests on the train from the incident show the car's door were functioning meaning they would have stayed open as long as an obstruction was present. The train's operator remains suspended without pay pending the investigation.
