Update 9:28 a.m.: The Sun-Times has details of the crash. Forty-eight people have been taken to area hospitals, though none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening. A westbound train was at the Harlem station when an eastbound train plowed into it. It isn't known at this time why the trains were on the same track.

Your commute on the Blue Line is a bit of a cockup this morning. Service on the Forest Park branch of the line has been suspended due to an accident near Harlem, where two trains crashed into each other.

There's no doubt about that accident. CTA announced over its Twitter feed that commuters may expect delays on the O'Hare branch of the line as a result of the crash.
