SEPTA trolley accident aftermath.

I came across this scene at 2:25 PM on Saturday, August 2nd, 2008. Location is just west of 42nd Street on Baltimore Avenue. The red truck has some damage to its left front area. The trolley is seen to have a small amount of some paint on the corresponding area, but didn't have any visible dents. You can see white gouges in the concrete and asphalt (tarmac), which looks like the track of the trolley after it left the rails. This all must have happened some time beforehand because the trolley had been put back on the rails by the time I got there.

I don't know anything else about this incident. The cop visible at 0:18 asked me to leave, although I was never closer than about 25 feet from any of the people working or the damaged vehicles so I took off. Come back in a couple of days and I might have put links to any news about the incident here
