Overview
- A car hit a stopped MBTA Commuter Rail train at the Sudbury Road grade crossing in Concord on Monday, causing heavy front-end damage to the vehicle and knocking a crossing arm from its base.
- Emergency crews on scene closed Sudbury Road between Thoreau and Grant streets and moved passengers from the involved train to other trains before clearing the site.
- The driver was taken to a local hospital with injuries officials described as non-life-threatening and was expected to survive.
- Keolis and the MBTA reported a canceled Fitchburg Line train and residual delays on the line as crews cleaned up debris and inspected the train and crossing.
- Local police, fire and rail investigators are continuing their probe into the cause of the crash, a development that comes after an unrelated Aug. 9 grade-crossing incident in Cohasset that raised regional safety questions.
