CANTON, Mass. — New video shows the moment of impact when an MBTA commuter rail train collided with a tractor-trailer on April 9.
An MBTA spokesperson said the driver of the truck has been cited by police for failure to stop at a railroad crossing.
The collision between a Providence/Stoughton line train and a Ross Express tractor-trailer happened along Pine Street in Canton and shut down the roadway for several hours.
Keolis Commuter Services says the truck was unoccupied at the time of the crash and had stopped on the tracks at the crossing. Canton fire report that one person suffered minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
