Overview
- An Orange Line train stopped just short of Roxbury Crossing around 3:40–3:45 p.m., and two passengers exited through an open door into the track area.
- Officials said the passengers did not fall out of the train, and first responders helped them from the tracks.
- One man was taken to a hospital with minor, non-life-threatening injuries, and he was not trapped beneath the train.
- Transit Police and the MBTA safety team are investigating why the train halted and how a door opened between stations, with a preliminary review ruling out a mechanical failure.
- The train was removed for inspection, service was briefly suspended with shuttle buses and Green Line alternatives, and normal operations resumed around 4:45 p.m. with some delays reported.
