(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 30, 2008 ) Shepard Law Firm Boston, MA - On Wednesday, May 28, 2008, a pair of two-car trolleys collided, resulting in the death of one MBTA conductor and multiple injuries to an unknown number of commuters. Train Accident Lawyer Michael Shepard has set up a toll-free number for injured commuters to call: 800-451-4471.

Many others were thrown from their seats in this disruption of the otherwise regular evening commute.

The collision occurred around 6 p.m., when the trolleys were heading outbound from Boston, near the end of the D branch in Newton. As the first trolley stopped at a red signal, it was struck from behind by the second train. There were approximately 200 passengers on board when the crash happened.

Early Thursday morning investigators removed the first Green Line trolley from the tracks. The second train where the operator died is still on the tracks and will not be moved until agents from the National Transportation Safety Bureau complete their initial investigation; the full investigation could take 12 to 18 months. NTSB Agents arrived on scene early Thursday morning. This is just one in a series of MTBA accidents which have occurred over the past months, resulting injuries to the commuters and the exact cause still remains unclear.
