Woman killed in car crash with MBTA Commuter Rail train
A woman was killed Wednesday after she drove an SUV onto Commuter Rail train tracks in Abington and collided with a train, MBTA Transit Police confirmed.
The crash happened around noon near 242 Centre St., Transit Police Superintendent Richard Sullivan said in an email. That address is across the street from Abington station, which is on the Kingston Line.
The initial investigation suggests that the woman drove onto the train tracks despite the safety gates being down and the warning system being fully engaged, Sullivan said. Multiple witnesses told WCVB that they heard the train's horn and screeching brakes prior to the crash.
