Crash on Boston's Green Line: Car vs. Cruiser Causes Delays

Boston, MA, USA,Saturday, December 28, 2024

On Monday night, a Boston police cruiser and a Tesla collided, causing some serious trouble for commuters on the Green Line's B Branch. The crash happened on Commonwealth Avenue, near Washington Street, and left a police officer with injuries that weren't too severe, according to the Boston Police Department. A video snagged by NBC10 Boston captured the exact moment of the crash. The police cruiser looked pretty beaten up, with a badly dented hood. The Tesla also ended up on the train tracks, doing some damage to it.

The MBTA had to step in and swap trains for shuttle buses until they could clear the wrecked car from the tracks. After some time, they managed to get the car off the tracks, and the B Branch line was back to normal. Authorities are still looking into who had the right of way in this messy situation. No initial details have been given yet.
