BOSTON (WHDH) - Service on a stretch of Green Line was temporarily suspended Sunday evening and one person was taken to the hospital due to a downed overhead catenary wire, officials said.
A Green Line train became disabled near Back of the Hill around 4:45 p.m., ultimately due to a downed overhead catenary wire, which powers Green Line trains, according to the MBTA. Crews could be seen working to remove live wires from the top of the train.
One person was injured when they were struck by the wire when it snapped.
The root cause is under investigation, though staffers are working to determine whether a large vehicle brought down the wire. There were no reported injuries.
Regular service has since resumed.
