June 10, 2008 Report: Driver in Newton train crash not on phone Play video

(NECN: Newton, Mass.) - The district attorney's office has determined that the T operator, who was killed in last month's Green Line train crash in Newton, Massachusetts, was not talking on her cell phone just prior to the collision.

There had been speculation that 24-year-old Therese Edmunds was on her cell phone at the time of the crash.

The DA was able to pull the driver's cell phone records and found no evidence to support the claim.

The investigation also found no evidence of drugs or alcohol in Edmunds' system.

The criminal investigation is now closed and no criminal charges will be filed.

MBTA General Manager Daniel A. Grabauskas:

"I would like to thank State Police attached to District Attorney Leone's office and Transit Police detectives under Acting Chief Paul MacMillan for their diligent and thorough investigation."

The MBTA will continue to work with the NTSB in an attempt to determine the cause of the accident.
