The MBTA’s Alewife station in Cambridge is closed indefinitely following a collision that left a automobile hanging off the roof of a station parking storage.
Transit Police detectives decided that the motive force, an grownup male, deliberately slammed his automobile right into a barrier on the highest deck of the storage at roughly 1:30 p.m. Saturday, MBTA spokesperson Joe Pesaturo stated.
“As a result of the collision, concrete debris fell from the garage and shattered glass panels above the lobby and mezzanine area of Alewife station,” Pesaturo stated.
The Cambridge Fire Department tweeted pictures that confirmed a automobile with heavy-front harm hanging over the sting of the MBTA parking storage.
The fireplace division stated it carried out a technical rescue response for a automobile crash with damage. Cambridge Police and EMS additionally responded.
The driver was taken to an area hospital and one particular person within the station’s foyer sustained a minor hand damage, Pesaturo stated.
“Alewife station will remain indefinitely closed for cleanup and recovery efforts,” Pesaturo stated. “Red Line service between Alewife and Davis stations is suspended, and buses are providing replacement service.”
Cambridge Fire stated the station will stay closed pending a structural and security analysis. Structural engineers responded late Saturday afternoon.
