A Lawsuit Is Filed Over a Back Bay Station Escalator Malfunction That Injured 9 People
A family has filed a lawsuit after a malfunction on an escalator at an MBTA station in Boston injured nine people.
The escalator from the Amtrak and commuter rail platform to the lobby of the Back Bay Station suddenly reversed Sunday evening, sending riders tumbling down.
Karson and Holly Bethay and their two children, of Louisiana, suffered multiple fractures, and “extensive” lacerations, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday, the Boston Globe reported.
