State plans
to improve
health care
WALDO
AUSTIN (AP) — A state plan to
improve inadequate mental health
care for hundreds of disabled peo
ple living in near-isolation in Medina
County was filed in federal court
Tuesday.
The plan states that the Texas De
partment of Mental Health and
Mental Retardation will ask its board
for more money for Medina County
services.
It also says the department will
“make a good-faith effort” to pro
vide mental health services, food,
clothing and shelter to mentally ill
residents who are suing the state in
federal court for better care.
Barefoot
Sanders ordered the state to correct
mental health care deficiencies
found near the Medina County town
of Devine after court monitors re
cently discovered scores of disabled
people living in crowded boarding
homes and other community facili
ties.
Austin-area social workers and at
torneys for the mentally ill plaintiffs
immediately denounced the plan as
too vague.
“It doesn’t say what will be done,
and therefore, it is not adequate,”
Austin social worker David Pharis
said.
Dr. David Bean, deputy MHMR
commissioner for mental health,
said the department plans to hire
nine workers, buy a $40,000 bus to
transport rural residents to a mental
health clinic, and ask its board to
spend an additional $375,319 in
1990^91 on Medina County mental
health services, although those de
tails were not included in the plan.
Subway train derailment
traps passengers, kills 3
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A subway train derailed
and smashed into a support^beam during Wednesday
morning’s rush hour, shearing one car “like a sardine
can.” The crash killed three people, injured 130 and
left some trapped for hours.
Officials said it is the worst accident in the 21 years
the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Author
ity has operated the regional commuter system.
Doctors amputated the right leg of one woman to
free her from the wreckage of the six-car train. But the
woman died four hours later of complications from a
66
he second and third cars were bent
and the whole side of the second car was
torn off. It was peeled like a sardine can.”
— Mark Robinson,
passenger
second broken leg and severe chest injuries, Hahne
mann University Hospital spokeswoman Linda Clossey
said.
Of the 130 people treated at hospitals, five were in
critical condition at the University of Pennsylvania Hos
pital, and 35 were discharged by early afternoon.
All three of the dead were among seven passengers
trapped in the wreckage, authorities said.
Rescuers, aided by a mobile surgical team and special
cutting equipment, freed the last two people nearly five
hours after the accident, police Commissioner Willie
Williams said.
Transit officials said they were looking into a report
that a dragging electric motor on one of the cars may
have caused the derailment.
Conductor Steven Young said the train had just left
the station when it suddenly pitched to the left. A tun
nel support beam crashed through the side of his car
and into a group of people.
“One was alive, and I watched him die,” Young said.
“I tried to comfort him.”
The train hit three support beams two blocks from its
last station stop. A preliminary inspection indicated
there was no danger of a cave-in, said transit inspector
James Sweeney.
“I was in the first car and as we went through the sta
tion, you could hear the train hit something, Tike some
thing was dragging. It went bam, bam, bam,” said Mark
Robinson of Philadelphia, on his way home from an
overnight cashier’s job.
“We got moving pretty good and then it seemed like
it got bumpy all of a sudden,” Ray Baker, headed to a
teachingjoh in west Philadelphia, said.
Inspectors said they found splintered ties on the
right side of the tracks. They said the last three cars ap
parently jumped the rails and fishtailed into the sup
port beams.
“The second and third cars were bent and the whole
side of the second car was torn off,” Robinson said. “It
was peeled like a sardine can.”
Tne train had pulled out of 30th Street station after
an 8:30 a.m. stop. The station links with Amtrak trains
and commuter trains serving the suburbs.
“People were screaming,” passenger Robert Rogers
said. “It was dark, and people were going left and right
and were falling off the tracks and stuff.”
The power in the subway tunnels was cut off to pro
tect rescuers.
The transit authority said it had no passenger count
for the train. The capacity for each car was listed at 200
people and passengers said there was standing room
only.
Traffic in the area was virtually shut down as emer
gency vehicles arrived on the scene. The transit agency
had to shut down the east-west subway line and also
trolleys that go undergrxtund four blocks away from
30th Street station to complete their trip to downtown.
Homeowners
win settlement
over waste site
HOUSTON (AP) — Twelve
companies settled a lawsuit witli
207 Highland residents over a
hazardous waste site homeowners
said has ruined their health and
property values in the last de
cade.
Exxon led the list of companies
that settled with homeowner slot
an undisclosed amount for alleg
edly dumping hazardous maten-
als at Liberty Waste Disposal Co.
Parties would not disclose
terms of the settlement, madefi
nal Monday by state Districl
Judge Hugo Touchy, butanenvi-
ronmentai group that supported
the homeowners’ fight estimated
the dollar value at $3.9 million.
“The amount can’t be con
firmed, but those involved have
told me what it is,” Rick Abra
ham, spokesman for Texans
United, said. “I understand the
largest share is to be paid by Ex
xon, who was the largest disposer
of waste at the site.”

the companies, were out of town
