A Boston commuter rail station remains closed "indefinitely" Monday after a car crashed through a barrier on the top of its parking garage, leaving the vehicle dangling over the edge.
The accident Saturday at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA) Alewife station in Cambridge was "intentional," police say, and sent the 5-ton concrete barrier crashing down onto the roof of the transit hub.
A 14-year-old girl suffered minor injuries after being hit with falling glass and debris inside the lobby, according to WFXT.
Photos taken from the scene show the front of a white sedan leaning over the edge of the fifth floor of the garage.
