Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority logoDARBY, Pa. — The National Transportation Safety Board said it will send a team of four investigators to the site of Thursday’s accident between a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority trolley and CSX freight train at a diamond in Darby, Pa.

Updated information from a SEPTA spokesman, as reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports the trolley’s operator and five passenger sustained injuries, mostly to the neck and back. All were taken to local hospital, treated, and released by 3 p.m.

Photos show the trolley, operating on the 13.3-mile Route 11 between Darby and the 13th and Market station in Philadelphia, suffered front-end damage including a shattered windshield. Normal service on the route has been restored following use of a bus bridge around the site of the accident on Thursday.
