Andrew Busch, SEPTA’s chief press officer, told LevittownNow.com four young men were in the car when they turned onto the tracks and the vehicle became struck. The group left the vehicle and police were quickly on the scene.
Police did not have enough time to notify the SEPTA conductor that the car was obstructing the tracks and the two vehicles collided. There were passengers on the SEPTA Silverliner V and all escaped injury, Busch said.
“Fortunately, no serious injuries, but it could have been a bad incident,” he said.
