Smoke reported, cleared at Dupont Circle Metro station in DC after train has brake problem
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Smoke was reported in a Metro station after a train had a brake problem, but the haze cleared and no one was injured.
The report of smoke Friday comes after a train filled with smoke last month near the L'Enfant Plaza station and a woman died. Dozens of other passengers were injured.
Metro spokeswoman Caroline Laurin says a train experienced a brake problem early Friday afternoon that led to smoky conditions at the Dupont Circle station. She says the train was taken out of service.
