Quad Shuttle Involved in Accident

About an hour ago, the 10:40 p.m. shuttle to the Quad got into a minor accident on Massachussetts Avenue, right across from the Holyoke Center.

Minutes after pulling away from the Boylston Gate stop, the shuttle attempted to change lanes when it swerved to the left, seemingly to avoid hitting a pickup truck on its right side.

This FlyBy correspondent, who happened to be on the shuttle when the accident happened, barely noticed an impact. But before we knew it, both the shuttle and the truck had pulled over to the side of the street. The shuttle driver instructed the passengers to exit the vehicle and wait for the next bus.

We didn't notice any damage to the shuttle, but the driver of the other vehicle showed us that his truck was somewhat scratched on the left side.

The shuttle driver, as well as the HUPD and Cambridge Police officers present, declined to comment.
