Light rail train and vehicle collide in Baltimore, transit routes altered

BALTIMORE -- A light rail train collided with a vehicle in Baltimore's Mid-Town Belvedere neighborhood on Thursday, according to the local firefighters' union.

No one was injured during the collision, union officials said.

The Maryland Department of Transportation described the incident as "an accident" in a social media post.

Light rail train service had to be adjusted around the site of the collision, which occurred near the intersection of Howard and Preston streets, transportation officials said.

Southbound train service was temporarily stopped at North Avenue. Trains could still travel back north to Hunt Valley, officials said.

Meanwhile, light rail train service for trains going northbound ended at Camden Yards.

By 11 p.m., service between North Avenue and Camden Yard stations had been restored.
