Three Taken to Hospital After Green Line Trains Collide at Brigham Circle. Two passengers and a trolley driver were injured Monday evening when the two trolleys collided on Huntington Avenue after the inspector didn’t manually switch the tracks, causing the inbound E train onto the outbound tracks and derailing the outbound train. “It was moving toward Boston and at the crossover, it started making the move over to the outbound track. It should not have. That’s why the switch was in the wrong position. If the switch had been in the right position, the train would have continued on to Boston. So it started moving over to the outbound track and that’s when another train—moving in this direction—came along and it made contact with the second car of that two-car train,” said Joe Pesaturo, MBTA spokesperson.  [WHDH]
