Overview
- A Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority work vehicle struck the rear of a stopped Silver Line train at Metro Center, leaving 11 people with non-life-threatening injuries.
- Metro officials said 27 passengers were on board and those unhurt were moved to another train that continued toward Downtown Largo.
- Silver Line trains now operate only between Ashburn and Clarendon, and riders can switch to the Orange Line at Clarendon to continue into D.C.
- Blue and Orange Line trains are single-tracking between McPherson Square and Smithsonian, which means both directions share one track and delays increase.
- WMATA said the train was the final Silver Line run of the night and the agency is investigating how the collision happened during overnight work.
