Chunks of concrete fell from an embankment along the Red Line in Rogers Park early Thursday, crushing two parked cars.
Larry Evans, 38, owns one of them, but considers himself fortunate.
“I could have been inside,” said Evans, who could hardly believe his eyes at 6:20 a.m. as walked to his car to go to work.
The concrete fell about 4:45 a.m. in the 7100 block of North Glenwood, between the Red Line’s Morse and Jarvis stations, according to Chicago police.
“The car behind me had it even worse,” Evans said. “If anyone had been inside that would have been it for them.”
Evans said he hopes the CTA picks up the tab for damages.
A representative for the CTA did not immediately respond to a request for information about the incident.
No one injuries were reported.
