Narrative:
American flight 3084, an Embraer ERJ-145 operated by Envoy (N698CB), was involved in a runway incursion incident with GoJet Airlines flight GJS3710, a CRJ-700 (N154GJ) at Chicago-O'Hare International Airport, IL (ORD).

The ERJ-145 was on takeoff roll on runway 28R from intersection EE at ORD. The CRJ-700 (GJS3710) was taxiing to runway 28R via taxiways F and N.
GJS3710 did not turn left at taxiway N as instructed and instead entered runway 28R and made a left turn toward the departing ENY3084. According to the pilot of ENY3084, he maneuvered to avoid GJS3710, and continued his departure. ENY3084 was a regularly scheduled flight from ORD to Port Columbus International Airport (CMH), Columbus, Ohio. GJS3710 was a regularly scheduled flight from ORD to the Lester B. Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed.



Probable Cause:
The flight crew's failure to manage cockpit tasks during taxi resulting in a loss of situation awareness and subsequently taxiing past a required turn point and onto an active runway without clearance. Contributing to the runway incursion was the ground controllers ineffective monitoring to ensure issued taxi instructions were followed.
