Around 6:15, I tooked the lightrail from Newport to Essex Street. At Exchange Place and Essex Street, the train ran on the northbound track.

I walked by Essex and Washington around 6:30. There was a black car with its bumper damaged, with people inside, parked in front of the Sugarhouse. Someone was taking pictures of the side of the train that was stopped. I saw scratch marks on it.

That black car must have ran a red light.

I saw that scene walking down to Exchange Place stop... heard a siren coming up Grand behind me. Saw a polcie car pull someone over @ Grand/Wash and as I started to cut through a parking lot and then saw 3 police cars lights/ sirens rushing toward Newport via Montgomery/Greene. The lightrail north was late and 2 south bound trains passed on the northbound line, southbound train stopped @ harborside and no reports in the JJ ... strange 30 minutes with no mention in JJ.

Only a guess but could it have been the Bolvian Festival ?

anyone know why there was a stopped light rail train and police activity on Essex on Washington on Saturday evening around 6PM?
