Woman dead, man injured after being struck by plow truck in parking lot of MBTA station
A woman died and a man was injured after being struck by a snow plow truck in the parking lot of an MBTA commuter rail station during the snowstorm Sunday afternoon.
The married couple was walking through the Norwood Central Station parking lot when they were struck by a Ford F-350 around 2 p.m., according to the MBTA.
The 51-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead, while the 47-year-old man was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
In a statement shared with Boston 25 News, Transportation Police Superintendent Richard Sullivan said, “A non-MBTA employee working for a private company contracted by the MBTA for snow removal was driving a Ford F-350 truck in reverse and struck the couple. »
The plow driver, a 33-year-old man, remained at the scene and cooperated with detectives.
“This is an unimaginable and horrific incident,” Sullivan added. “On behalf of the Transit Police and the entire MBTA organization, we extend our deepest condolences to the victim’s family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.”
The Norfolk District Attorney’s Office is assisting the Transit Police Department with an investigation.
