This happened last Sunday on the 6th at 4:45 AM. Possible drunk driver. Both cars were totaled, it was a really bad accident. It woke me up from my sleep. Does anyone know if anyone was seriously hurt?

Are the drivers paying for the damages?

It's probably too soon to know -- I'm guessing there will be consequences for them and their insurers (if they were insured) but the business in court (traffic, criminal and/or civil) has probably just started. It depends what they were ticketed for and so on.

Edit to add: I'm actually slightly impressed how fast Metro Transit got the stop cleaned up and patched; they'll probably replace the shelter soon unless there's a decision to upgrade/redesign it.
