HAVERHILL — An Amtrak train was taken out of service Thursday night, June 20, 2024, after colliding with a tree that had fallen onto the tracks in Haverhill.
The impact left the front of the engine dented and covered in leaves, WHDH reported.
At the time of the incident, there were 90 passengers on board. Some of these passengers were transferred to a Commuter Rail train to continue their commute.
Three people were arrested and a fourth was sought after Haverhill detectives surveilled a memorial site and recovered loaded guns and a Glock switch from a group of young men, including one known Gangster Disciples associate.
A Haverhill man faces multiple charges, including reckless endangerment of a child, after allegedly doing wheelies on White Street with his helmetless son as a passenger on an unregistered, uninsured motorized bicycle.
According to the Essex County DA’s office, a man’s body was recovered from the Merrimack River Wednesday night after a resident reported seeing someone swept away by the current.
