Overview
- A black SUV struck a stopped MBTA Commuter Rail train near the Concord station on Sudbury Road, producing heavy front-end damage and scattered debris.
- Emergency crews closed Sudbury Road between Thoreau and Grant streets and cleaned the scene after the collision.
- One person in the vehicle was injured and expected to survive, Concord fire officials reported.
- The MBTA canceled a Fitchburg Line train and delayed others as crews worked at the crossing, and visual footage showed deployed airbags and a dislodged crossing arm.
- Local and MBTA investigators are examining the cause of the crash, which comes after a similar vehicle-on-track incident in Cohasset on Aug. 9 that has raised broader concerns about grade-crossing design and signage.
