One of Walnut Creeks’s venerable Gillig electric trolleys got away from its operator Friday, slightly damaging two cars in separate locations before it could be pulled over by police.
The trolley’s passengers were off-loaded and transferred to another bus while officers assessed the damage, which in no way came close to that inflicted by Reeves and Bullock in “Speed.”
No serious injuries, except perhaps to the driver’s ego.
The electric trolleys were introduced in Walnut Creek back in 2016 and replaced the original diesel-powered models in use up to that time.
