An incident involving an MBTA bus resulted in damage to 10 parked vehicles in the South End of Boston. According to Transit Police, the bus’s rear maintenance panel opened due to a faulty safety latch, causing it to side-swipe several cars on Malden Street. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries in the accident, and the bus has been taken out of service for a thorough examination. Transit Police officers have made efforts to notify the owners of the impacted vehicles and have left notes with a case number on their windshields. The preliminary investigation suggests that the bus driver was operating at a safe speed and within the marked lanes when the incident occurred. As of now, the MBTA is working to address the issue and ensure the safety of its vehicles moving forward. This situation serves as a reminder of the importance of regular maintenance and safety checks to prevent accidents on the road. The community is encouraged to stay informed and vigilant in order to promote safety and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
