Officials continue to investigate a trolley and car accident in Delaware County.
It happened around 5 a.m. on 1400 Edgewood Road near the Beechwood/Brookline Station in Haverford Township.
A police source says Brian Manning, 29, of Haverford Township, drove his car onto the tracks along SEPTA's route 100 Norristown High Speed Line before abandoning the vehicle. It was then struck by a trolley.
24 people on the trolley suffered minor injuries after the crash.
Manning later returned to the scene where he was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and 26 counts of reckless endangerment. He will be arraigned in court Thursday afternoon.
SEPTA is advising passengers on the Norristown High Speed Line to board all trains on the inbound platforms between West Overbrook and Wynnewood Stations.
