Green Line slowed to the max due to car on the tracks
By adamg on Tue, 05/14/2019 - 2:30pm
Somehow, a driver wound up on the B Line at Pleasant Street around 1:30 p.m. Kyle MacDonald reports the driver looked "a little shaken up, but OK."
Corner of Pleasant and Comm. Anyone see how this happened? @universalhub pic.twitter.com/ihl07vX0Xu

Well golly gee, can't imagine HOW this happened
Trigger warning for the car-apologists: I'm heavily speculating here.
Imma go with taking the turn too fast while trying to beat the light from Pleasant St.
Of course, it could totally be a medical emergency but come on, where the fun in speculating about that.
Charitable
It's possible she was headed down Comm Ave when someone on the cross street made a right turn on red and the driver of the white car overcompensated and swerved, thus ending up on the tracks.
Not suggesting the white car driver isn't at fault, but there could be more people to blame.
I gotta go with spin on this one
I mean, the red light beating is speculation, but there is definitely evidence of a wide right turn, most likely at speed. If the car was 10 feet closer to the intersection, the swerving theory would be more valid, but it really does look like a wide right.
But then again, none of us were there.
It could have jumped the curve further up
Then followed the track/granite for a bit. Don't know.
I'd put my money on 'consulting' with a GPS or Waze and not paying attention.
Let's go places!
Probably just following the GPS directions.
TURN RIGHT NOW!
MGH Surgeon...

The driver is okay, the drive was a disaster.
