Car Stuck On MBTA Green C Line Tracks, Again
A new month, a new car finds its way up onto the tracks.
BROOKLINE, MA — It happened again. A car found its way up onto the tracks of the C line in Brookline near St. Paul Street, prompting delays in the area and a shuttle bus for passengers on the T.
It's not immediately clear if there were any injuries. But this comes after something similar happened earlier this week at Hawes Street.
The crash prompted a shut down of the C line service on the tracks and the MBTA sent bus shuttles to get people between St. Marys and Coolidge Corner.
