Police said the driver got out before impact, and about 15 passengers and crew were not injured.
- On Sunday, an MBTA Commuter Rail train struck a Toyota Camry at the North Main Street grade crossing in Cohasset, Massachusetts, totaling the vehicle, police said.
- A 33-year-old Mansfield man delivering packages apparently made a wrong turn onto the railroad tracks, becoming stuck before the collision, according to the Cohasset Police Department.
- About 15 passengers were aboard the Greenbush Line train at the time of the collision, and no injuries were reported among passengers or train crew, officials said.
- North Main Street was closed for more than two hours while Cohasset Police and MBTA Transit Police investigated; the train stopped just short of the Cohasset MBTA Station.
