A truck slammed into a trolley in Chula Vista on Tuesday evening, injuring more than a dozen people. The truck broadsided an MTS trolley car heading northbound at L Street and Industrial Boulevard around 4:30 p.m., according to MTS Spokesperson Mark Olson. Many of the injured were treated at the scene, according to the Chula Vista Fire Department, but many others were taken to local hospitals. Three people, including the truck’s driver, sustained what officials described as “major trauma.” The crash prompted interruptions to Blue Line service to some stations and caused delays, according to the Chula Vista Police Department. As a result, there is no Blue Line trolley service between H Street and the Iris Avenue Transit Center, according to MTS. The transit agency is providing bus shuttles for impacted riders between H Street and Iris Avenue. Riders were advised to use Route 932 for service between the impacted stations. Delays are expected on the Blue Line until further notice. MTS is investigating the crash and will provide further details when the investigation is complete, Olson wrote in an email to NBC 7. #MTSAlert Due to a disabled train blocking the tracks, there is no Blue Line service between the H Street and Palm Avenue stations. Riders can use Route 932 for service between the impacted stations. Expect delays on the Blue Line until further notice.— San Diego MTS (@sdmts) November 6, 2024
