May 29, 2008 Family plans funeral for victim of MBTA crash Play video

(Brad Puffer, NECN: Roxbury, Mass.) - The family of the MBTA driver that died in Wednesday's accident are asking for privacy as they plan her funeral.

Terrese Edmonds was just 24-years-old and worked for the T part-time, like most new hires. She began commanding a train in October.

Her brother Leon, says Terrese was, "so happy" after waiting two years to finally get the job.

It took 7 hours to extricate Edmonds' body from the wreckage.

NECN's Brad Puffer has more.
