Around 10:00am this morning a MBTA Commuter train slammed into a postal truck at a crossing on the Kingston/Old Colony line. No one was injured and the truck driver survived. According to the the 12 o-clock news the truck go stuck in the snow when going over the tracks. You can click here for the initial story, but more information is still to become avalible.
 
This comes from MBTA's website service alert page:

Bus service is being offered for Kinston passengers in both directions between Braintree and Abington due to a disabled train.Expect delays on the Kingston line of 40-45 minutes. All inbound and outbound Kingston line passengers can use the Red line for service into South Station.
Most likely this is from the grade crossing accident.
