BOSTON — Six people were taken to hospital after an accident at a Boston transit station on Friday, prompting a large police presence and leading to a partial closure of the facility.
The crash occurred late Friday morning at Forest Hills Station in the city’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood and involved a transit officer, City Councilman Benjamin Weber posted on X. Multiple units of Boston EMS responded and six people were transported to area hospitals, a spokesperson said in a statement.
The facility’s upper bus route was closed around 11:15 a.m., with service redirected to another section.
A Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority police dispatcher declined to answer any questions by phone. Emails requesting information were sent to MBTA media addresses. A Boston police dispatcher said city police were assisting MBTA police.
A video posted online showed more than a dozen police cars and at least two ambulances outside the station. Officers were seen standing behind yellow police tape cordoning off a large area outside the station entrance.
