DARBY, Pa. — Seven people have been injured, one critically, after a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority trolley collided with a CSX freight train on Thursday morning, KYW-TV reports.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, which earlier had reported six injuries — to the operator and five passengers — reports an eastbound trolley on Route 11, from Darby to 13th and Market streets, was struck at about 8:30 a.m. at 6th and Main streets in Darby, where the trolley line crosses the CSX tracks. Images on the KYW website show the trolley stopped adjacent to container cars on the CSX line. WPVI-TV reports a total of 20 people were on board the trolley.
CSX said in a statement that there were no injuries on its train and no leaks or spills were reported. “We extend our thoughts to those involved in this incident and will support law enforcement as they investigate,” the statement reads.
