Davis Square T Accident?

Tonight at around 9:30pm, it seems that somebody was struck by the T in the Davis Square stop. I was in the station at the time it happened and heard the train's horn blaring, but I did not actually see the incident occur with my own eyes so I can't say for sure exactly what went on. A woman behind me on the escalator saw it and advised me "not too look and scare myself", but she indicated that somebody had been hit.

This is all I know about it so I don't want to go around spreading false assumptions about the incident. It has however, really been weighing on my mind so if anybody has any further facts about what happened I would appreciate being filled in. I'm sure there are other Davis residents who are also concerned.

Thanks.

EDIT: All is well in the world! The person is OK! Thanks for filling me in!

I'd also been wanting a tag for the various "commotion" posts we get here. Sirens, circling helicopters, fireworks, parades, big traffic snarls, etc.

But do "strange buildings" really go in the same category as these? Biggest difference: the strange building will be asked about for decades but all the other situations are just for the moment. We have "local landscape" for buildings.

Well, I see your point, but I meant it in the sense of 'I saw thing X and don't know what it was'... which I suppose could fit both tags. I see it as denoting mysteries of a sort.

This is a cool new tag. zmg, we already have a "noise" tag.

Well i always thought of the "noise" tag as for annoyances, not things that make you wonder, "wow, where are all those sirens going to?"
