Harvard Station Accident Victim Plans to Sue MBTA Over Falling Equipment

A woman who was struck by a piece of defunct equipment at Harvard Station is suing the MBTA. The equipment was originally part of a program to detect and identify biological agents. The woman suffered injuries, including a detached clavicle from her shoulder that will require ongoing and long-term medical treatment. The MBTA has directed personnel to remove the remaining 13 boxes at all three stations. The woman's attorney said they need to wait six months to file the lawsuit.

Woman injured by falling equipment at Harvard MBTA station due to corrosion.

A woman was injured when a utility box fell on her at Harvard MBTA Station due to corrosion on the support straps. General Manager Phil Eng ordered immediate inspections of all stations to check the condition of the support straps. The MBTA believes the boxes are only on the Red Line and inspections are ongoing. Red Line service was not impacted by the incident. Two months ago, a falling ceiling tile nearly hit a woman at the same station, and the T later removed other tiles in that section of the station.
