ANDOVER, Mass. — Video obtained by Boston 25 News captures the moment a train clipped a car at an Andover intersection for the second time in the past few months.
Surveillance video shows the vehilce stop in the railway intersection on Essex Street as the lights flash and the arm comes down.
The car rocks for a second after the train made contact with the vehicle as it whizzed by.
MBTA Transit Police Superintendent Richard Sullivan told Boston 25 News the man behind the wheel claimed he was in traffic when the safety warning system activated.
No one was hurt.
Back in October, a train crashed into a car being driven by an 84-year-old woman at the same intersection.
Somehow, the woman walked away without any serious injuries.
A sign posted at the railroad crossing reads, “WARNING HIGH SPEED TRAINS DANGER.”
