CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — A subway train derailed in Cambridge on Tuesday, snarling the afternoon commute and resulting in injuries, according to local fire officials and the transit agency in charge of the system.
The derailment occurred above ground on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s Green Line near Lechmere Station.
The derailment occurred about 5 p.m., according to the MBTA.
About 50 riders were able to exit the train onto the tracks, where they headed back to an emergency exit located in the track area. Six injuries were reported, with seven riders taken to nearby medical facilities.
The cause of the accident is under investigation. Work crews arrived to assess any damage and get the train back on the rails.
Fire officials say there were able to disable the overhead power source to the train. Several patients were transported for non-life-threatening injuries, the Cambridge Fire Department said in a statement posted to X.
A spokesperson for the agency issued a statement saying the MBTA “sincerely apologizes to riders for the frustration and distress this incident has caused” and is “committed to thoroughly investigating this matter to ensure this does not happen again.”
Shuttle buses are replacing the rail service, MBTA officials said.
