Train Collision Injures Workers In Bridgeport

BRIDGEPORT, CT — Two trains that weren't carrying passengers collided at low speed near the Bridgeport station at 1:45 p.m.

One train was carrying equipment and the other was only occupied by staff, according to Fox 61.

Three Metro-North workers received minor injuries and were transported to the hospital for evaluation, said Bridgeport Fire Chief Richard Thode at a press conference.

Train tracks were temporarily shut down as a precaution as firefighters worked to bring injured workers down from the elevated tracks, Thode said. Firefighters have finished at the scene.

Metro North reports delays up to 45 minutes on the New Haven Line.
