The MBTA reports "minor" delays on the Riverside Line due to a flatlined trolley at Waban.

Around 9:15 p.m., Transit Police report. The man, hit on the outbound side, was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, police say, adding that foul play is not suspected.

On closer inspection, those daffodils rising from the snowbanks in Waban turned out to be cut daffodils stuck into the snow in Waban, Lorianne DiSabato reports.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, Hoot was too badly hurt to be saved.

After examining Ter'rese Edmonds' cell phone for usage leading up to the May 28 crash on the Green D Line, the Middlesex District Attorney declared today that there was no evidence to suggest she was distracted by her cell phone in any way. No e-mail, text messaging, phone calls, or internet use was going on in the minutes prior to the crash. What exactly caused her to miss the signal and go 30 mph too fast that day into the rear of another train leaving a stop signal is still unknown.
