Eleven passengers were hurt when a work vehicle crashed into a parked Metro train in Washington DC during the early morning hours Wednesday, according to transit officials.
The collision happened around 12:15 a.m. at Metro Center station, where a Silver Line train was sitting motionless when the work vehicle struck it, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced on social media.
Metro Center serves as one of the busiest connection hubs in the transit network. Transit officials confirmed that while 11 people sustained injuries in the crash, none were considered life-threatening. Authorities have not released additional information about how severe the injuries were or what types of injuries occurred.
Commuters faced widespread delays across the Metro system Wednesday morning as investigators examined the crash scene. Rail operations were limited to single-track service in the affected area while the investigation continued.
