MBTA Police Date: 05-23-1999 Deputy Chief Flemming: To: Deputy Chief William Flemming From: Officer Barry R. McGrath Subject: Train collision at Water Street lot. On May 23, 1999 at approximately 9:30 a.m., I was dispatched to the Water Street lot, commonly known as the Water Street “truck back”, Quincy, MA. in response to a train collision. Upon arrival, I observed a red line train had struck a large front end loader, situated on the inbound tracks beneath the Water Street bridge. Quincy Police and fire were on scene with Fallon Ambulance Services and had established a command center in the north-east comer of the parking lot. I met with Deputy Chief Paul Oconnell of the Quincy Fire Department who directed me to assist in removing the injured from the train. I worked with Quincy fire fighters for approximately two hours, carrying injured persons on backboards from the wreckage sight to the triage site, located adjacent to the command center. Once all injured parties were removed from the train, I worked with M.B.T.A. and Quincy Police Officers to contain the area and was able to complete a detailed accident investigation diagram, attached for your review. Deputy Chief Paul Oconnel, Quincy Fire and Commander Scott Volz, Fallon Ambulance reported 19 injuries, 1 medivac, 1 fatality. All persons were transported to Quincy Hospital with the exception of the train driver who was brought to Boston Medical Center. (See M.B.T.A. Detective report for names and addresses of persons injured and/ or killed.) Respectfully Submitted, Officer Barry R. McGrath
