Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I patua, i patua hoki tētahi kaimahi whakaora kararehe mohoao 58-tau-tau e tētahi tereina MetroLink o St Louis i te tonga ki te hauauru o Illinois i muri i tana urupare ki tētahi karanga mō tētahi opossum i runga i ngā rārangi. I patua a Sandie Konopelski o Shiloh e tētahi tereina e haere ana ki te uru i runga i ngā rori i waenganui o Swansea me Belleville i te ata o te Paraire. I mate ia i te wharanga o te mea kuru, ā, i kīa kua mate ia i te wāhi o te mahi, i muri i tana whakautu ki te whakatūpato mō tētahi opossum i runga i ngā rārangi huri noa i te 8am. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Sandie Konopelski o Shiloh, Illinois, i patua, i patua e te tereina o St Louis MetroLink i te ata o te Paraire. I whakautu a Konopelski ki tētahi pūrongo mō tētahi opossum (i runga ake nei) i runga i ngā rori e tata ana ki tētahi teihana tereina o Illinois. I patua ia e tētahi tereina e haere ana ki te hauauru i runga i ngā rori i waenganui i Swansea me Belleville i te 8 i te ata.

I whakairihia e te roopu he mihi ki a Konopelski me te kii ka taea te tuku takoha hei whakahonore i a ia. I tuhituhi a Bi-State Wildlife: 'Kāore he kupu.

E ai ki a Wintrode, he maha nga wa ka karanga a Metro ki te Bi-State Wildlife mo te awhina ki nga kararehe i runga i nga ara. Kāore i te mārama mēnā i waea mai rātau mō te opossum i roto i tēnei āhuatanga. Whai muri i te matenga o te 58-tau-tau, i tukuna e te Bi-State Wildlife Hotline o Missouri me Illinois he mihi ki a Facebook. E ai ki te Tumuaki Pirihimana o Swansea a Mike Arnold, kāore ngā mana e mōhio he aha a Konopelski i kore ai e rongo i te tereina e haere mai ana. I kitea te motokā a Konopelsk i tētahi papa waka e tata ana ki te teihana i Swansea, e ai ki te Swansea News-Democrat. I kii te koromatua o Shiloh a Jim Vernier: 'Kaore au e whakapono i tupu.
