CLARENDON HILLS-- Two men were injured Saturday afternoon, after missing their train stop and jumping from a moving Metra train in west suburban Clarendon Hills.
Shortly after their westbound Metra train left the Clarendon Hills station at 11:09 a.m., a 68-year-old and 56-year-old man, realizing they missed their stop, opened the doors and jumped from the train, according to a release from the Clarendon Hills Police Department.
