BOSTON — Ten people were hospitalized with injuries Saturday morning when a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority light rail train derailed near Fenway Park.
The MBTA Green Line train hit the side of a tunnel in the accident, the Boston Globe reports, with some injuries described as serious but not life-threatening. The train’s operator was among those hospitalized; the 62-year-old suffered a leg injury and bumps and bruises, according to an MBTA spokesman.
MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak said the agency would conduct “a full investigation” into the accident. The station reported that about 150 people were on the train, and had to be evacuated from the tunnel, as were 500 people on a following train.
Service on the line was restored Sunday.
