A Boston trolley accident happened after the conductor was text messaging his girlfriend, according to Boston.com. The conductor rear-ended another Green Line trolley, injuring 49 people and causing the Government Center station to close.
Under company policy, a driver can be fired for texting while operating a train, trolley, or bus.
All 49 injuries were not considered life-threatening, although majority of the victims went to the hospital immediately following the crash. The operator of the striking trolley suffered a broken wrist.
