Fire Truck Strikes MBTA Green Line Trolley, Causes Delays

BOSTON (CBS) -- A Boston fire engine struck a Green Line MBTA trolley, causing delays on the E Line Tuesday morning.

The incident occurred at about 8:30 a.m. at 570 Huntington Ave. No one was injured, but the delay affected eight MBTA stations.

Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald said an engine company from the Engine 37/Ladder 26 station struck the trolley. The station is right in front of the tracks and engines from that station cross the tracks multiple times a day, MacDonald said.
