The operator of a train on the Green Line of the MBTA said he blacked out and may have fallen asleep, according to a National Transportation Safety Board report on a 2021 collisionThe operator of a light rail train that struck the rear of another train in Boston in the summer of 2021, sending 24 passengers and three workers to the hospital, told investigators that he blacked out and may have fallen asleep, according to a federal report.
The National Transportation Safety Board's report issued last month determined that the probable cause of the involving two Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Green Line trolleys was the operator's"loss of situational awareness" — which led to the trolley accelerating at full power to 33 mph."The operator told NTSB he blacked out upon departing the St. Paul Street Station, possibly falling asleep," the report said."The lack of any action by the operator to avoid the collision after departing the station suggests that he momentarily became unaware of his situation.
