BOSTON (AP) — A subway train in Massachusetts derailed briefly as heavy rain challenges drivers and commuters in Massachusetts.
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority officials say a Green Line trolley derailed around 7 a.m. Sunday morning in Boston after it hit debris stuck on the track during a downpour. No passengers were on the train, and the conductor was not injured.
The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for Lynn, Peabody and Salem after 4 inches of rain fell in a short period of time. Pockets of northern Massachusetts experienced street flooding overnight.
[1140am] The Flash Flood Warning CONTINUES and this remains a VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. We're receiving reports from @WX1BOX of over 7" of rain in both Lynn and Peabody. Do NOT enter or drive through flood waters. TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN!
