Federal investigators said Tuesday they have confirmed preliminary findings that a malfunctioning subway door caused a Boston man to be dragged to his death last year.
Robinson Lalin died in the early morning hours of April 12, 2022, while exiting a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Red Line train at Broadway Station. His arm was stuck in a door and he was dragged more than 100 feet along a platform onto a lower surface near tracks, the National Transportation Safety Board has said.
The NTSB said Tuesday that the probable cause of the fatality was a short circuit in the passenger door interlock circuit on the railcar. The short circuit enabled propulsion of the train while the door was obstructed by a passenger, and that caused the passenger to be dragged along the platform, the board said in its report.
