Three members of the Boston College NCAA championship hockey team are among seven college students facing alcohol charges after a trolley hit their SUV.
A spokesman for the Boston transit agency ((MBTA)) says Philip Samuelsson, Patrick Wey and Parker Milner are among those who will be summoned to court on charges of being minors in possession of alcohol after Sunday morning's accident. Those three athletes are all freshman Eagles hockey players.
The MBTA says that no one in the SUV was over 19 and that the driver, ID'd as Jane Stanton, was not a member of the team.
The Jeep Cherokee, apparently, was making a U-turn across the tracks when the train- which was heading in the same direction- struck it. Some people in the Jeep suffered minor injuries.
Jim Armstrong tells us the facts as we know them...
Here's the statement from Boston College on the events...
We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the incident that occurred Sunday morning. We are thankful that that the injured students are recovering and the driver of the vehicle that was struck by the MBTA trolley had not been drinking before the incident. At this stage, contrary to reports, no one has been charged. As is our policy, we will wait until the investigations are concluded before announcing possible disciplinary actions.
