Trolley accident injures 49, conductor was text messaging before crash

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.

If you or someone you know has suffered an injury on the job, contact railroad worker accident injury lawyer Brian Beckcom immediately at 877.724.7800.
