A semi-truck carrying cars pulled out into a Hillsboro MAX Monday afternoon, hurting the truck driver and seven passengers on board the train, according to the Hillsboro Fire Department.
The accident at Southeast 10th and Washington happened at about 12:20 p.m., closing the signal-controlled intersection, said Hillsboro Fire Spokesman Storm Smith.
None of the injuries were life threatening, said Smith, and seven of the injured were transported to an area hospital.
There was visible damage to the southbound car carrier and the front of the Blue Line MAX train.
Traffic in the area was diverted at both Southeast Baseline Street and East Main Street.
The eastbound train was pulled from the scene by about 1 p.m. but Blue Line service was disrupted, according to TriMet.
No citations have been issued, said TriMet.
