Work vehicle hits Washington Metro train, 11 hurt

Officials say a work vehicle hit a commuter train in downtown Washington, injuring 11 people.

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority says the stationary silver line train was struck early Wednesday at the Metro Center station.

The station is a major transfer point in the rail system.

Metro says the injuries are not considered life-threatening, but it did not give details about the severity or types of injuries.

Metro warned riders on Wednesday morning to expect delays throughout the system while the incident was investigated.

Some trains were using just one track in the area.
