Train Hits Man..Extrodinary Efforts To Free Victim
About 10:30pm Sunday an MBTA train out of Rockport hit a man under the extension overpass on route 128. Rescue workers lifted the train to extracate the trapped victim. Awesome teamwork by both Gloucester police and fire personel in a trying situation.

Great Job Jay.How did you get so close without getting kicked off the highway? YOU THE MAN !!
ReplyDeleteThe extension was still open when I went by.I had no clue what was going on and saw a CATA bus lined up with rescue equipment and thought perhaps the train broke down or jumped the tracks. I stayed clear and watched from a distance,the last thing I wanted to do is get in the way. The photos look closer than I was. I zoomed in on the photos during the processing. This was a difficult circumstance for the police & fire,extrodinary efforts were used to save a life.
