The MBTA bus incident highlighted a severe safety issue when the rear maintenance panel flung open due to a faulty safety latch, resulting in damage to 10 parked cars.
Transit Police Superintendent Richard Sullivan confirmed the driver was traveling at a safe speed within the lanes when the rear panel failure occurred, stressing that no injuries were reported.
Following the incident, the MBTA promptly removed the bus from service for a thorough examination as officers investigated and attempted to contact the owners of the damaged vehicles.
Affected vehicle owners received notifications left by Transit Police officers on their windshields, who included a case number for further communication regarding the damage.
