Red Line Shutdown After Electrical Incident
Description
A major electrical explosion erupted inside a confined shaft near the Medical Center Metro station on Monday morning, June 8th, seriously injuring at least three Metro contractors—reportedly suffering severe electrical burns. Fire crews responded swiftly at 7:45 AM, evacuating all workers and providing immediate medical care. The Red Line between Medical Center and Bethesda was temporarily suspended, with trains rerouted to Friendship Heights and commuters advised to head toward Shady Grove. The cause remains under investigation, and Metro’s GM has pledged a full probe while wishing the injured a full recovery.
